Indirect Cell Update for Radar Charts

Ignition Early Access
1

My question migth be pretty dumb, but I can’t find a way to indirect binding for a Radar Chart.
I have done the indirect Cell Update Binding for an Easy Charts and works correctly.

In the Property Binding: Root Container. Radar Chart I have the option of Cell Binding at the bottom of the screen. Just for a fast example, Im doing a monitoring of a sensor named emp2200 and amm01 is the name for the UDT Instance and volts_AB the value I’m getting from the tag: It appears like:

ROW COLUMN VALUE
0 Value {[default]monitoring/node/emp2200/amm01/volts_AB}
0 Min {[default]monitoring/node/emp2200/amm01/volts_AB.engLow}
0 Max {[default]monitoring/node/emp2200/amm01/volts_AB.engHigh}

I want the path to see “amm01” as indirect, as long I have more like amm02, amm03. On my current window I have a Custom Property named “node”. And Im changing the VALUE for: value, min and max like:

{[default]monitoring/node/emp2200/{Root Container.node}/volts_AB} ----> didn’t work
[default]monitoring/node/emp2200/{Root Container.node}/volts_AB ----> didn’t work
[~]monitoring/node/emp2200/{Root Container.node}/volts_AB ----> didn’t work
{[default]monitoring/node/emp2200/Root Container.node/volts_AB} ----> didn’t work

And so on. I getting and Error with no details like: "Expecting close ‘}’ but found:’{’ "
and for another cases I get the Error: " com.google.common.collect.ComputationException: com.inductiveautomation.ignition.common.tags.paths.parser.TagPathFormatException: Token PATH_SEPARATOR found after property name. "

Please help (Sorry for bad English)

Cell update bindings don’t support full expression compilation. Do the indirect reference to your tag in another custom property, then refer to that custom property in the cell update binding.

Thanks for your reply @PGriffith

I'm pretty new in Ignition. For the part of your answer

Does this property needs to be a Dataset type?

It worked, thanks
