I have an existing table that has a subview. The subview options are setup like this -  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/3/037661e818cac4b615d52f1743141239ee3d3b08.png)

and the subview has 3 params each corresponding to a column in the parent table like this

and this works properly. The parent table’s data for these columns flow through into 4 text labels nicely.

I am tasked with improving this - we want to show a different subview depending on the value of the `tableName` parameter.

I have a new view called LogFiles\_Subview\_BK\_2 with the same params

and I have a copy of the entire view I’m developing one with the table. The subview options are setup like this -

My LogFiles\_Subview\_BK\_2 is a Tab container and I am using a binding on the currentTabIndex like  
`if({view.params.tableName}='Table0',0,1)`. I also made the tab height 0 so the user can’t manually switch.

However, it seems only be using whatever value was saved in designer. Nothing seems to be coming through. I can’t tell what is wrong. Any ideas on what I am missing here?

</div>

one seems to be {value:{Plantnumber, tableName…}}  
the other is {Plantnumber, tableName…}

those do not behave the same.  
value gets automatically pased down the viewparams based on the data of the row.  
The other needs to be bassed down manualy

Thank you. After a long day I needed the fresh eyes - I didn’t notice the difference.
