Is it possible in ignition to use trend in templates or parameterized popups, where this trend is changed with the parameter is use (indirect tag history)? ---

Yes. You have to use the tag history binding style that accepts an expression for the tag list. (Unless you have my Integration Toolkit, the only practical expression is a property binding to a property that is structured correctly.) ---

You mean using property with a value of the path of tag whose history will be shown? Or something like this? ---

Yes, but not just a tag path. It has to be a list of objects (even if only one) where the objects have this documented structure: > **[Tag History Bindings in Perspective | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/working-with-perspective-components/bindings-in-perspective/tag-history-bindings-in-perspective#using-dynamic-tag-paths)** > > Tag History Binding ---

I don't know If it is applicable or not but can i use a value parameter (number) and add it in tag history path without using an array parameter? Like ramp{number} and so on ---

Not there in the history binding, no. But you can construct the array property with an expression as you see fit. ---

As noted above, you cannot construct the necessary structure in a simple expression without my Integration Toolkit. (And even then, you would not use python syntax in an expression.) Your expression **must** be a simple property reference pointing at where you've constructed the proper array. (Typically with a script transform.) ---

I did it using an array property with the three values alias,path and aggregate and bind it with expression and a variable number changed with a numeric element
