I am having a hard time figuring out how I can do this... I have a view that has a flex repeater on it. The flex repeater uses a single template seen here... ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/5/b/5bbfbb10e8c60cff78445421a6c5c1f83d1021d1.png) I have the textfield for Quote Number bound to an indirect tag ```python [default]TagQuery/changeOrderCompleted[{instanceNum},1] ``` On my view, i have a startup script that will determine the number of instances needed to be displayed based on the value of a set of tags. Let's call the base tag 'coQN'. I have the tag 'coQN1' thru 'coQN10'. The script is basically reading in all of those tags and I then check to see if the value of each of the tags has an actual value or is 'null'. If the tag comes back with a value not equal to null, an instance is created. So there could either be 1 instance or 10. This is working as intended. My problem is that I cannot get the data to correctly display in each instance of the flex repeater. The picture below shows the flex repeater that has 3 instances. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/b/d/bdebb0fa743a47a740d07398f95cb2331647cc03.png) The first instance (with the Quote Number text field highlighted in Green) is displaying the **correct** data. Tag is `changeOrderCompleted[1,1]` which has a value of 'CO7843-01-02'. The second instance (with the Quote Number text field highlighted in Yellow) is displaying the **incorrect** data. Tag is `changeOrderCompleted[1,2]` which has a value of 'CO7843-01-03'. The third instance (with the Quote Number text field highlighted in Yellow) is displaying the **incorrect** data. Tag is `changeOrderCompleted[1,3]` which has a value of 'CO7843-01-04'. I realize that I need to increment the tag, but I am not sure how to achieve this by because they are "grouped" together and not isolated. Thank you in advance ---

in the instances prop of the Flex Repeater do the params have correct values? If that is not the case then it is a problem with how you are generating the instances. ---

Show us the script that generates the instances, and tell us exactly what parameters your templates take. But frankly, I'd rework things a bit. Use bindings instead of a startup script. Pass a tag path to your instances and let them handle their data and state themselves. ---

You were right, I wasn't passing the right parameters. Got it working, thanks! ---

Great! I would still consider what @pascal.fragnoud said. You should really just have the instances bound to that tag and base the instance logic off of that in a transform. You may find your startup script to be unreliable sometimes. ---

I would also question why you are using a tag for a quotation application. Surely it should be directly interfacing with a database?
