How are you bringing in the kPa to display? I tested a couple by manually adding it in without a binding and also linking to the engUnit of a tag and both did not display it in all uppercase. You could always have the first field be bound directly to the tag and a second tag set to the engUnit property. Bi-directionality can't work with a transformed value. You are changing the value that would be on a tag and it wouldn't be able to work back to the source value. > [@Bidirectional option in the Configure bind tag is in grey](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bidirectional-option-in-the-configure-bind-tag-is-in-grey/69909): > > Bidirectional option in the bind tag is in grey. Cant enable that function into the Configure bind tag. the Cant figure it out. Could you help me? Please check screenshot attached.
