I want to display the name of the display and the path to the screen on the display. But I want this to be dynamic so if the name changes or the path that it is updated as also.

Thanks

Try binding to `[System]Client/CurrentWindow`? [System Tags - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/System+Tags#SystemTags-SystemClientTags(VisionOnly))

What if you want to display the property "Title" instead ?

You'll have to retrieve the actual window object ([`system.gui.getWindow`](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/system.gui.getWindow)) and ask it for its title property.
