Hey guys,
I just noticed that my dropdown component data property doesn’t have the binding icon. I’m using 8.1.9 right now and I wasn’t sure if its a bug or I missed something.
What if you restart the designer?
You’d think for an IT guy that always tells his users “turn it off, turn it back on” all the time, I would have tried that… lol
Restart fixed it.
Hah 
For what it’s worth, this is a bug we’re tracking internally. I don’t remember the exact steps, but I think it’s that the property editor gets ‘weird’ after you edit a long string property, or something like that.
what threw me off was it was doing it on an existing component with some data and a brand new one with no data in it.
