Hello everyone,  
I have a template with Spinner (Numeric input) that has a value(Integer) binded to Template Parameter named “IntValue”.

 ![ignition_template1](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/a/da58efb5fdac6411059e56005b9c2aab3afdf98c.png)

I want to create Template Repeater or Template Canvas with multiple instances of this template but can’t find a way to bind Tag name with a property. Is it possible in ignition?

The easiest thing to do is to change your template to accept a tagpath (string) parameter. Use internal properties (with indirect tag bindings) to use the parameter and read its values.
