Is there a way to directly negate the value of an Indirect Tag binding?

When using an Expression binding, it's simple to invert a boolean by using the `!`. However, I need to use an Indirect Tag binding to dynamically construct my tag path, and I would like the resulting boolean value to be negated.

Thanks for any tips!

Directly, no.

Make a custom property with indirect binding and use that property in your expression...

Have you tried adding an expression Transform after your expression?

Vision doesn't have binding transforms.
