Right now we are highlighting bindings with bold text. Can we get some sort of indication if the binding is broken, such as making the font red, or italicizing the bound property?

You shouldn’t be able to have invalid bindings. Are you seeing this in your project?

For example, where a component would have an overlay, it would be useful to indicate the same for a property.

OK I understand now, you meant that you want Ignition to indicate properties that have a bad quality. This has been mentioned before, and I hope to see it implemented in the future.

As far as I know, this isn’t even in our timeline. I’ve just heard the idea kicked around. I do agree that it would be a nice addition though.
