I have a problem trying to edit input components with any type of variable  
I want to modify an integer with a 'Input Numeric Text Field'. When I try to do it (Preview mode), the PC makes the typical sound like 'you do no have permission to make this change'.  
I'm trying with memory tag and OPC TAG SIEMENS (Ex: [S7300Prueba1]DB7,I12) tag, both present same problem

I'm working on Windows11 with Ignition trial version  
The variables are configured as:  
-Bidirectional  
-The Designer is 'Full read/write'  
-The tag security settings are public for read and write

I have no problem when I change the value's tag from tag browser ... the problem ocurrs when I'm running the preview mode and I trying to change from the Input component  
I'm sure is something easy but I can't see it 🫠. I'd appreciate your help

Is this _Vision_ or _Perspective_?

I found a graphical example I can not do, if you watch the next video:

> **[Indirect Tag Binding Video at Inductive University](https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/videos/indirect-tag-binding/8.1)**
>
> An indirect Tag binding is very much like a standard Tag binding, except that you may introduce any number of indirection parameters to build a Tag path dynamically in the runtime.

At 02:41 min, you'll watch he works with Input Numeric Text Field and he can change the value after he pressed the 'Play' button.. I tried it but I can't, in that moment the PC emmits error sound

I'm using v8.1

Did you accidentally enable range checking?

(Start with a new numeric entry component to see if you've screwed up the one you've been editing.)

I had to reinstall the Designer and Visio in the PC. Fixed!
