[From one of the many @pturmel teachings](http://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/binding-to-custom-component-methods/19245/9), I’d recommend creating a custom property that is an indirect tag binding to `{template/tag/path}+’/some/sub/tag.Quality’`. Then change your expression to

```auto
{new_custom_property} != 'Disabled'

```
