I would like to create an LED display and bind the value to a tag, and then have a label below it that shows which tag the LED is bound to. So, if the LED display is changing display with an indirect tag, I want to see what the path of the tag I am presently viewing is. ---

How are you constructing the indirection? Do the same in an expression binding on the label. ---

I was hoping there was a way to get to it so when I copy a bunch of times, I only need to change the indirect tag binding in the LED display, and the label in the same container can just show what the tag is. ---

Ok. Construct the entire tag path in a custom property. Use that in the indirect binding and in the label. ---

So I would have to use the Tag Browser, right click on a tag, and select Copy Path. Put that as text in a custom tag, and then use that custom tag text in the binding for a indirect tag in both the LED, and the label? That is not a bad idea, and saves me some time. ---

Just to throw this out there, it seems that you are relatively new to Ignition. You might find benefit in Inductive University, [https://inductiveuniversity.com](https://inductiveuniversity.com). Also keep in mind there are a ton of docs at your disposal. [Welcome - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81) ---

Not a custom tag. A custom **property**. Typically on the component using the indirect binding, but could be elsewhere in the view. Or even a view parameter. NOT a tag. ---

Yes, that is what I meant, sorry about that.
