I did this a year ago but now can’t figure out what/how I did it. I didn’t keep notes when I created it but now need to add a few more historical tags. I think I spent two days looking through forums to get it working… It’s basically, a dropdown that controls what data is shown in two Easy Charts

I’d guess you saved copies of the configuration datasets that need to change (not necessarily the ones highlighted below) for each selection and copy in the appropriate ones when dropdown value changes.

Yes, that’s what I did. It was all the way at bottom of properties pane and I missed it. Thanks again!
