Hello,

I am new to Ignition and having trouble finding the system command to bind tags to a component in scripting.

I want one button’s action to assign tags to another component in the same window.  
Please advise. Thanks.

You can use an indirect tag binding on a custom property to accomplish this.

Then, just set the custom property to your tag path using your button.

Thank you. Indirect binding solved the issue for me.
