**Version:** Ignition 8.3.x  
**Background Information:** Using a historian splitter to store data, with a Core Historian as the primary historian and a SQL Historian as the secondary.

**Issue:**

I am currently receiving a debouncer error on any tag that has the historical property _ **Include Metadata** _ set to _true_ and a binding on the _Engineering High Limit_ property.

> com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.config.PropertyTypeException: Value '{bindType=parameter, binding={EGUMax}}', of type 'BoundValue', cannot be converted to the type 'Double' which is expected by the property 'engHigh'.

First off, I am unsure why there is an error since the binding value is handled properly when I look at the value in the tag browser. Potentially a bug?

Secondly, when I set the Engineering High Limit to be a numeric value, instead of a binding, I then receive an error regarding key duplication. I believe this would be a non-issue if the metadata property is handled correctly, but I am including it for further context.

> com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.storeforward.exceptions.DataStorageException: java.lang.RuntimeException: java.sql.BatchUpdateException: Violation of PRIMARY KEY constraint 'PK\_\_sqlt\_dat\_\_[KEY\_HERE]'. Cannot insert duplicate key in object 'dbo.sqlt\_data\_1\_[DATE\_HERE]'.

Any insight into these issues is greatly appreciated.

This is probably related to a core historian metadata bug that I identified with bindings and include metadata. I did not use a historian splitter at all and it was just on the core historian.

IGN-15785 was the internal ticket number that i received -- March 24 is when they confirmed it and assigned the ticket number.
