Property() Expression Function

Are there any drawbacks to using the property() expression function? I just want to make sure I’m not errantly creating a bunch of performance issues that I’ll need to correct down the road (à la tag()).

Does property() expression function even exists?

Yup, it’s a Perspective only expression function: property - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation

The only drawback I can think of is that it isn't possible to make it bidirectional using the expression function, but I don't know why it isn't possible to make property bindings work in the same way as tag bindings:

oh ok, haven’t used it yet. I don’t know

I’m interested in this as well. I presume though that it wouldn’t be nearly be as bad as using the tag() function. Although I still maintain that I’ve never actually had any issues with using that previously in Vision, despite avoiding using it now :man_shrugging:
