Hi,

When I pass a dataset parameter into a popup window, all column types change to String.

Is there a fix to this? Or maybe a simple work around that wont be confusing a year from now.

Thanks!

- I think it will work if I update the bindings, something went wrong here.

I tried to delete and didn’t remove the bindings, made a new custom property with same name and it still popped up with all strings.

Making a new custom property with a different name seemed to work.
