hi there,

I’m doing a template repeater, but my tags are index starting at 1, e.g. Motor 1, Motor 2, etc.  
When doing a template repeater, it is indexing starting at 0, but I don’t have a Motor 0.  
I did not find how to adjust the starting index number.  
Does anybody know?

thanks  
Erik

Instead of binding to index, bind it to index +1

hi @jpark  
do you mean here?  
I tried but it writes all indexMotor to value 1…

No, inside your motor template.

I managed to do by using a Repeat Behavior DataSet, instead of Counter, but I didnt like too much, because it was required to enter manually all the indexes…

Where do you mean inside (which property) the motor template itself?
