On a mouse click on a blower image, I open a motor faceplate popup but the tags on the faceplate only update on the initial mouse click. What can I do to get the tag data to continuously update?
Sounds like you are passing tag values as window parameters to the faceplate. You should instead be passing a common tag path string or multiple tagpath strings. Then in the faceplate window, use indirect binding to retrieve the live tag values.
Thanks! That was the problem.
Is there an example on how to do this? I just created multiple popups on my project after following the videos using parameter passing only to find out that the data does not update. I have looked through the ignition perspective videos but there is no example
This thread is about Vision. (The OP forgot to include the tag.)
You're asking about Perspective so you need to start a new thread. You'll need to supply additional information - what you are trying to do - what you expect to happen - what actually happens.

Parameters are values, not references, which is why they don't just update magically.
If you want your data to keep updating, you'll need to provide a reference instead, then pull data from that.
For example, let's say you want your popup to display the value of a tag, and keep it displaying the latest value.
Instead of passing the tag's value to the popup, pass the tag path.
Now, you can use an indirect tag binding on the tag, using the path, and it will update itself automatically.
