The fundamental difference between the configuration bindings in UDT members and the bindings in expression tags and query tags, is that the latter subscribe to changes in the tags they reference, when in event driven mode, so they can re-execute to stay up to date. General tag configuration bindings only execute at tag startup or restart, which is triggered by UDT parameter writes. Alarm configuration pr…

In particular, this part:

> General tag configuration bindings only execute at tag startup or restart, which is triggered by UDT parameter writes. Alarm configuration properties are more tolerant, because they have to execute when an alarm triggers in order to capture associated data.
