> [@Shashiraj\_P\_S](#): > > using scripting Why scripting? This is simple styling case that does not need scripting. Or it can be done with an expression--faster and more efficient and more maintainable than scripting. Basic steps for you to follow: - Create a boolean tag in Ignition's tag browser. The simplest way to do this is to use Ignition's OPC browser to locate the tag in the PLC's hierarchy, and drag it to a folder in the Ignition Tag Browser. Fix up the name afterwards if necessary. - Create your label component. Create a custom boolean property on this label component. Drag from the Ignition Tag Browser (not the OPC browser) to this custom property to create a binding. - If Vision, open the label component's "Style Customizer". Select the custom boolean property as the driving property. Select the `.text` property as a driven property, and supply your two text strings. - If Perspective, create a binding on the label's text property with either: a) an expression using the `if()` function to check the boolean property and return one of the two strings, or b) a property binding to the boolean property, followed by a map transform to convert to the desired strings.
