I want to generate dynamically instances of a flexrepeater and i also want to add binding to some values. My code is: tags = system.tag.browseTags(parentPath=value) ``` instances = [] for tag in tags: dict={} dict["instanceStyle"]={} dict["instanceStyle"]["classes"]="" dict["instancePosition"]={} dict["title"] = "tp_item_" + tag.fullPath.rsplit("/",1)[1] + "_title" dict["description"] = "tp_item_" + tag.fullPath.rsplit("/",1)[1] + "_desc" dict["value"]={"binding": {"config": {"bidirectional": True,"fallbackDelay": 2.5,"mode": "indirect","references": {"path": "{view.params.path}"},"tagPath": "{path}/setup/items/" + tag.fullPath.rsplit("/",1)[1] + "/state/installed"},"type": "tag"}} instances.append(dict) return instances ``` My problem is on binding, I got all objects in the value and not as binding… How can I fix it? ---

You can’t create bindings dynamically. The closest you can get, at the moment, would be manually creating/modifying the `view.json` file on disk for a particular view, but it would be pretty hard to do that in a dynamic way based on other changes happening in your project. ---

Is it planned in nearest futur to add that features? ---

In the near future, nothing that I’ve heard about. The only related _idea_ (not an actual specific feature that’s definitely going to be implemented) I’ve heard of is a kind of ‘dynamic view’, where the view config is fetched on-demand by running a Python script or something similar on the backend. ---

Why don’t use use what would have been the bound value as a param to the view and let the view manage the binding? In your case, build something like `tagPath` as a param for the instance, and let the View bind some value against the supplied tagPath? ```auto tags = system.tag.browseTags(parentPath=value) instances = [] for tag in tags: # also, "dict" actually means something in Python, so you shouldn't use it as a variable name. my_dict={} my_dict["instanceStyle"]={} my_dict["instanceStyle"]["classes"]="" my_dict["instancePosition"]={} my_dict["title"] = "tp_item_" + tag.fullPath.rsplit("/",1)[1] + "_title" my_dict["description"] = "tp_item_" + tag.fullPath.rsplit("/",1)[1] + "_desc" my_dict['tagPath'] = self.view.params + "/setup/items/" + tag.fullPath.rsplit("/",1)[1] + "/state/installed" instances.append(dict) return instances ``` Then just set up the View you are instancing to use the tagPath param in a binding. ---

I want to have all my instances dynamic. I want to add instance according to the UDT linked. I never have the same number of instance and when I add the array builded to the instances I don’t found the to bind the values requested. I’m not sure to undertand what you explain. Can you be more explicit or send screen shot. ---

OK, I catched what you mean…
