Hello! I have a button that should be hidden unless the value of a tag is greater than 0. This is the script I have on the onCompositionEnd event: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/0/d071103f7f13ae7953c2bebde48524e18b7da67f.png) Not too sure how to move forward from here, any help would be great! Thank you! ---

I would create a custom property bound to the tag, then use an expression on the visible/display property of the button. ---

Should I create the custom property on the button that I want hidden or the field with the tag data? ---

I guess that depends on if the custom property will be used elsewhere. I think I would place in the root of the view the button will be. There are several ways to approach this. ---

You are making this too hard. Just use a tag binding on `meta.visible` to that tag. Non-zero automatically maps to true. ---

Welp, you are definitely right on that! I was making it way too difficult, binding it to that tags value did the trick! Thank you both for the help! ---

Tips: Your (now redundant) code should use `.visible = False` and `.visible = True` for Python boolean. Posting code is better than pictures of code as we can copy and edit it in our answers. Use the `` code formatting button when posting code. ---

Will do, thank you for the valuable feedback!
