Hi,

I’m trying to use a manual entry for the startDate and endDate in tag history binding…and I really don’t know how to make this entry.  
Using system.tag.queryTagHistory with ‘2013-01-30 00:00:00’ is working well, using property bindig also, but no manual entry.  
Someone can help ?

This is a known issue, you can’t use static values for those dates for the time being, only property bindings.
