Hello, I am facing a weird problem that I don’t understand. When I open a certain view in the designer, it reinitialized the values of the Numeric Entry Field. This particular view is a flex repeater, in a perspective view. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/0/a025f0bb40dc900d6b15da995fe084102976b0ec.png) The values are binded on a direct tag. This tag value is connected on OPC UA Server, with modbus TCP. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/1/215705ec5e1d1ab2e35035f831aab383ad345ee6.png) I am using bidirectionnal mode in order to read the values from the automatom, and write the values from the web ignition interface. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/2/127b22a24821ba9f2a070845d19eddd19df472b1.png) But when I open the view in the designer, all the values enabled (with white background) are set to 0. How to make these values ​​not reset? Thank you for your answer. ---

Pretty sure that’s a known bug that has since been fixed. What _exact_ version are you using? ---

From 8.1.11: > Fixed issue that could cause bidirectional bindings on View parameters to inadvertently write back when loading the view. Sounds like that could be it? ---

Yes, that matches what I remember. …should have figured you’d be awake, and Paul not. (: ---

Hello, I upgraded my ignition version to the 8.1.16 and the bug still remains. Any ideas for solutions?
