In a PowerChart component I set the config tagBrowserStartPath property.
When loading the component and opening the Tag Browser, I have access to
all the histories and only when I press the update button it shows me only
the paths indicated in the tagBrowserStartPath property.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?
Here is another wire about the same issue:
English forum.

This seems like a bug which hasn't been resolved yet.
It seems like we have to wait for the solution.
In the meanwhile, I solved it provisionally doing a refresh action triggered by the PowerChart’s onStartUp event.
Just replying to bump this to the top as well. I got around it the same way @m.cornet did, but came searching here for a better solution and didn’t find one anywhere.
how did you refresh power chart without using the refresh button @michael.flagler @m.cornet ?
I tried filling in the tagpath via the clearTrendChart script, but it still needs to be refreshed.
I think they’re talking about a page refresh, with system.perspective.refresh(), which does indeed update the power chart, but also triggers the ignition splash screen while the page reloads…
So I just hardcode the path.
A dirty solution, if you don’t have too many possible paths alternatives, would be to create a view for each, with a preconfigured powerchart with hardcoded path, and open the required view depending on whatever it was that was used to evaluate the binding of the powerchart.
Yeah, I was talking about the refresh. Unfortunately for me, I need a dynamic path, and every way I’ve tried to get around it doesn’t work, although it seems that it “works” but is just showing all the providers with only the tags from the path shown and after a refresh, it removes all the providers that don’t use the configured/dynamic path.
Can you update only the Power Chart component without updating the whole page ?
Good morning ,
we use version 8.20 but we always encounter the same problem. Have you found a solution?
We are also seeing this issue. When I am working in the designer and change the parameter that affects the binding on the rag browse start path, it works fine, however in a real browser, we have to click the refresh icon to get the correct folders to appear.
Thanks,
Nick
Still having this issue in 8.1.23. Anyone have any updates? I'm using the powerchart on a slideout and doing a refreshBinding on the startup event doesn't seem to work as a bandaid. You have to click the 'refresh' button on the tag browser.
It is now 2024 and I am running into similar issue. it seems that the PowerChart component may be loading faster than the Views Params can be configured. Once the view is loaded I can hit the little refresh button on the "Browse Tags" area and everything works. It would be nice if we could force the PowerChart to load last or run a script post load to refresh the browse tree
In an onChange script, you could always request the Power Chart refresh the binding.
You could either directly reference the Power Chart, or you could just broadcast that the Power Chart needs to refresh its binding and then configure the Power Chart listen for that message.
I had tried the refresh binding on both a change script for "tagBrowserStartPath" and on startup for the original view. I am using a flex repeater to allow users to view multiple trends, typically 4 at a time. I have also created a "master" folder browser to only expose relevant tags. 1hr an less = short term tags etc. perhaps i have bad code for refresh bindings? i ended up refreshing the entire screen on startup of original view, which ends up looking real clunky
It would be nice to be able to trigger the "reload" button. I believe I have tried every recommended work around on this forum as well as some home brewed attempts. all have failed
Hello. I am trying to add data to a chart from an float variable. But when I am making drag and drop, no data... Even in perspective, when a browse the tag, the tag group are not available. Could everyone help me please with this issue? In the tag browser from the chart, are available only demo tags (Sample tags). Thank you!
Have you enabled history on that tag, and set a Storage Provider for it?
Thank you very much for your help. Now it is working
