I am attempting to create a view in Ignition Perspective 8.1.20 where a use can enter text into a text field and when the text is entered a tag browse tree will be automatically refreshed and will use the text from the test field as a filter for which tags to display in the browser.

I am able to use the 'FilterBrowseNode' extension function to filter the tags but I cannot get the tree to refresh when a user finished entering text into the text field.

I have been looking at the [Ignition SDK](https://files.inductiveautomation.com/sdk/javadoc/ignition81/8.1.16/com/inductiveautomation/factorypmi/application/components/TagBrowseTree.html#refresh()) and I see that the component has a refresh() method but I have not been able to figure out how to use it.

Any guidance or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,  
Nile Ellis

You linked to the SDK docs for **Vision's** tag browse tree. Not the same thing at all. For the Perspective component, there's no obvious way to do this. Try making an assignment to one of its component properties.
