I know this would be a lovely feature, to set bindings runtime, but I don't know if you can actually do that in a script.

Some threads that might help you are:

> Thanks in advance for your help. I have a dial with 3 buttons. At runtime I’d like to change the dial binding with the push of a button. Button A binds the dial to tag 40616, button B to 40615, and button C to 40614. I’m a long time VB programmer, first time ignition user. Thanks for your help.

> [@Run time bindability](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/run-time-bindability/2056):

> Is there a way to find out, at run time, what a property is bound to? Can it be changed? I could use a dynamic property and check the value of it, but I’d be more interested in finding out which dynamic property a property is bound to. If I can.

(unfortunately sometimes) Ignition just isn't C where this would be trivial
