Hi,

Is it possible to get property binding name in a script ?

Why ? What are you trying to accomplish ?  
I don't know if it's possible, but I also can't think of a use case for this.

In 'label' key I would like to put 'role\_tiers' which is the property name.  
Is it possible to list components names of a container too ?

The assigned property can’t change, so just use a string value?

What do you want a list of containers for?

Nope. Not from a value. Using an expression binding with my `objectScript` may provide an opportunity, though I've not tried this specific action. You would need to do some introspection on the `binding` local variable.
