Hello,  
I try to define a new binding with Indirect tag, so I defined {TagPatch} in Reference and then I put {View.params.tagPath} by browsing the params (no typo and is it the same as other valid binding), but I get Error\_Configuration and if I apply and the Ok and close the Edit Binding window and then open it again, there is nothing in property , anyone has this issue?

This used to trip me up _all the time_ (I knew immediately after I closed the dialogue and it wasn't working what I'd done), and continues to trip up new comer colleagues. It's not intuitive and doesn't behave like all of the other similar select-from-list fields 🙄
