Good morning, I have a custom property with a named query binding on it.

This query return the user settings. I have a page where I can update these settings.

I wonder how I can force the refresh of this query when the save button is clicked without maybe setting the polling rate.

Thank you

I believe you should be able to use `self.session.refreshBinding('custom.your_prop')`.

Good morning, as Pascal noted you can refresh bindings at will, but to get up to the session prop from your button take a look at message handling:

> **[system.perspective.sendMessage | Ignition User Manual](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/appendix/scripting-functions/system-perspective/system-perspective-sendMessage)**
>
> Send a message to a message handler within the same session.

A Session level message handler that uses [self.refreshBinding()](https://www.docs.inductiveautomation.com/docs/8.1/ignition-modules/perspective/scripting-in-perspective/perspective-component-methods#refreshing-bindings) is the common solution. This can work across sessions to refresh different sets of users, or if targeting just the immediate user you could skip a lot of the message handling entirely see Pascal's comment.

You can achieve similar behavior with more custom props and change scripts too: add a different session custom property that is like a switch, have the button conclude by "flipping" the switch, and then on the change script of that new switch custom property you can refresh binding. Using a memory tag as the switch can be a quick way for a universal refresh.

Thank you all for the help and for the suggestions. I confirm that this method works

`self.session.refreshBinding('custom.your_prop')`
