Since we’re talking about binding to folders… it would be very nice if folders did have some properties you could read from them like alarm counts of all of the priorities and ack states. I think there is already talk of adding this in, but the concern was performance impact
ahem
My only comment to this, Is if we should expect nothing, it should probably be an exception instead. For example if you read a tag path that doesn't exist you get an error, but since a folder isn't a tag you might think you should get a similar error.
I do agree though, better to get nothing or an error than a potentially "random" number
I would expect the same thing here. When I bind a UDT to a perspective prop, it brings in the structure beautifully. When I update the UDT, so does my perspective binding. It's like Vision drop targets for perspective. This is valuable as heck. I just found out today that binding a folder of tags returns an integer.
I think most people on this thread just found that out lol, including the devs
