I am attempting to update the value of a button based of the value of a custom ID from a form that I have in ignition, I have a query in the root of my ignition project that brings in the data that I need, but I am unsure how to do this correctly, any suggestions? ---

correct prop.text ![ignition](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/f/d/fd7b3f1bf60e7fce2d5acc9a277538498ddee93e.png) The red arrow from picture 1 is what I am using to determine what value from my root table query I will use find to get the correct data to fill into picture 2(yellow arrow) text area of the button ![ignition2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/5/656bfb40d877cf6e6ab76471387d78d312638ff5.png) ---

Assuming that your ID value is on the parent container then you just create a property binding to that custom property. ![button.text binding](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/3/f/3f6cba309e1ec5f5a1f0b2f28f936440db3418dc.png) 1. Create a binding on your button `props.text`. 2. Select Property binding. 3. Point it to wherever the value is stored. 4. The result. ---

Good, but why don't you write directly to the button's `props.text` instead of to the view's `props.custom.id` and then the additional binding on `props.text`? Don't forget to mark this thread as solved.
