I'm using Expression to bind the META name of various components on my screen to the ".labelDisplay" property of the label that component is associated (along w/ additional text). However, for some reason, whenever I reopen my screen the META name is not able to see ".labelDisplay" value automatically. When I click the Edit Expression Binding button for the label, the expected value is there.

Does anyone have an idea of why it's not automatically loading and how I can fix this issue?

Looks like it was a load timing issue. The information being used by the META name binding was not loading fast enough for the property binding to be complete. I had to just do different bindings for now
