There is free training available at  
[https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/](https://www.inductiveuniversity.com/)

I believe you would find an example in the Ignition Basics module of the type of thing you are trying to do.

Late reply… But, you can’t do this with a simple tag. You can do it with a UDT (although I wouldn’t recommend using UDT type custom properties)  
You can however drag a tag on and auto create a number of components, including a numeric label, that auto bind to the tag, you won’t get both the tag name and value though together
