How do I a space in a numerical label between Value and Units? They is no space between the two and it looks weird. I figured out how to make units bold, but can't figure out how to add a space.

I'm using Vision.

The nbsp doesn't seem to work, unless I messed up in putting it in.

This is what I have it set up as:

I was able to accomplish this with a single space in suffix field with no quotes

Ok, interesting, that worked for me too. It seems to work some of the time though as I needed to add two spaces in some situations. The other weird thing is when I remove the space from the suffix the gap is still there lol. Thanks!

Not all property changes force recomputation. Some properties are considered "configuration" and are simply included in calculations/display operations that occur when primary properties change. If a property does not show up as something that can be a binding **source** , it is one of those.

Ok thanks.

How would one force a recomputation? I can see this being an issue if I'm in a dev environment and everything looks fine, but then when I deploy to the field there are differences.

Every component has properties that **are** primary. Change one of those. If a there's a binding, refresh it. Possibly by editing and saving the binding without changes.

Or just close and re-open that window or template in the designer.
