Hi,  
I noticed that if I have three separate pipe sections and I add a binding to the fill and stroke of each pipe it will not follow the respective pipe if I change the z-order of the pipes.

In other words if you change the z-order of the pipes the bindings does not connect to the correct pipe.

A few screenshots:  
Custom properties holding the color:

Each pipe section is bounded to the custom property for the color:

The pipe\_Green is moved to the back of the z-order:

The view is closed and re-opened and now the pipe-names and color bindings does not correspond correctly:

Is this a bug or me missing something?

This is experienced in Ignition 8.1.43 and 8.1.44.

Also having the same issue on 8.1.45

I have a page with a lot of pipes and had to change the order (arrow) direction of some pipes, delete and add some additions, now all the pipe color bindings have offset themselves to the wrong pipes.

I just realized this after working on a big page with a bunch of pipes...
