In Ignition when I drop a Boolean tag onto a window one of the options is to create a checkbox. If I do this the checkbox is tied to the tag value, and the checkbox text is the tag name.

If we drag float tags the mouseover text, units, minimum, maximum, etc are all auto populated.

If I instantiate a template via a drop target, is there a way to have multiple properties auto populated like the above built in components?
