In the indirect tag binding, use:

```auto
{1}/Parameters/desc

```

And in the References:

| Reference | Property |
| --- | --- |
| 1 | {view.params.deviceTagPath} |

Where `view.params.deviceTagPath` is passed in as:  
"[OTSE\_MFG]Reel/Primary Area/\_71\_5048\_SM611\_FS1\_SpoolReleaseLocked"

In your previous posts, by trying to bind to the tag with path "[OTSE\_MFG]Reel/Primary Area/\_71\_5048\_SM611\_FS1\_SpoolReleaseLocked/parameters", this isn't a valid tag path as you're missing the item you're trying to read.

Note: you can also use the tag path:

```auto
{1}/Parameters.desc

```

Although I prefer to keep the "/" instead of the "." for the rare instances where I choose not to use a udt instance for some types, but still use the same UDT definition's folder structure. Likely nothing important for you to worry about
