This is still an issue in version 7.9.5… Is this a known issue?

Can you provide a project export or more concrete steps to replicate? I just set up a simple expression on a rectangle’s “Stroke Paint” property (toColor("255,0,0")) and copied that to a text field’s foreground color without issue.

Hi Paul,

On any colour property, configure a: tag, indirect tag, or property binding, where you have the table of values and corresponding colours.

If you then try copying this, you get the not serialisable error.

Perfect - that’s what I needed. I’ve filed an internal ticket for this; we should get to it in a future release of Ignition.

Awesome, cheers! This has been a small annoyance for a while

I Have a work around for this, instead of using Tag Binding, use the Indirect tag binding it will copy the color animation.
