I don’t know hoe to use 2state Toggles.  
When I click the button, I want to switch between the two states of ON and OFF and at the same time change the tagged value to a specific value.  
I read all the descriptions and properties and tried to do it myself, but it didn’t work at all.  
Can you tell me exactly where to tag and where to set any value I want to do in order to change the state when I click on it to any value I want, and so on?

I don’t know how to use Ignition Designer at all yet, so I would be happy if you could tell me as much as possible.

You _ **really** _ need to go through the [Inductive University training](https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/courses/ignition-overview/8.1) (it is free). It isn't really possible to explain how to use the Designer with just posts on this forum.

Really.

I knew about this site, but I think it’s unrealistic to watch it all because I don’t have the time.  
Do you have any idea which categories are related to 2state value?

> i have two 2-state toggles both bi-directional. for some odd reason I can toggle them “on” but not “off”. in the ladder i’m toggling the manual on/off for the valve and pump. its like it latches somehow but my code only uses that instruction in one spot idk why it has trouble with it.

Here is the manual,
