I’ve got a table whose data are based on a date field, so i created a binding on it. There is also a button that adds a new row, so that when pressed I want to requery the table. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/6/8/681081198cad0f2735df326a19054526afd99990.png) I tried with the following line of code in the button click event: ``` system.db.runPrepUpdate("INSERT INTO MYTABLE (COL1) VALUES (?)",[myNewData]) self.getSibling("lblDate").refreshBindings("props.value") ``` But it doesn’t work with the error: ``` org.python.core.PyException: AttributeError: 'com.inductiveautomation.perspective.gateway.script' object has no attribute 'refreshBindings' ``` Any idea? Thanks in advance ---

You should be refreshing the **table** binding - not the lblDate binding. ---

Refreshing the table binding? It makes sense. So I tried this: ``` self.getSibling("Table").refreshBindings("props.data") ``` Same error: ``` AttributeError: 'com.inductiveautomation.perspective.gateway.script' object has no attribute 'refreshBindings' ``` ---

It isn’t `refreshBindings`. There is no “s” ```auto self.getSibling("Table").refreshBinding("props.data") ``` ---

1. Show us your script? How can we see the problem if you do not? See [Wiki - how to post code on this forum](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/wiki-how-to-post-code-on-this-forum/77831). 2. What is the name of the Table component? (That will be needed in the script.) 3. Did you fix the error? `self.getSibling("Table").refreshBinding("props.data")` ← Correct. `self.getSibling("Table").refreshBindings("props.data")` ← Wrong. ---

Correct the reference component path using the Browser on the right ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/7/17f11241faf799d3acbd382de4ebaeda46bc0b3d.png) ---

I have a button that I am using to refresh a table in the same view. I get this error: AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'refreshBinding' ```python def runAction(self, event): self.getSibling("ProductionTable").refreshBinding("props.data") ``` ---

```python self.getSibling("ProductionTable") ``` Is returning `NoneType` So either, the component which you have this script on does not have a sibling named `ProductionTable` or you have mispelled it. Use the property browser in script editor to get the correct path to the component that you are trying to refresh the binding on. ---

I used a message to refresh the table from a button the user clicked to submit the original data.
