I want to bind the value of a tag named “20ma” to the “ScaledHigh” of tag “AMOUNT”. ---

If you make the 20ma tag be a Reference type tag, and set the source tag path to ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/2X/7/7656191ba266cce043950bed57f9b0e09952bba4.png) should grab the scaled high from the UDT instance Amount tag. ---
