I've been using a modified version of this:

> [@Dynamically build Tree items binding from tag path](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/dynamically-build-tree-items-binding-from-tag-path/60869/6):
>
> Something like this, perhaps? path = "Treatment/3KNG/200/100\_01\_Basin1\_Mixer1" parent = [] ret = parent for part in path.split("/"): item = { "label": part, "expanded": True, "items": parent } parent.append(item) parent = [] return ret

I'm using this code in a script transform. Original binding is to a dataset containing path data. ex: "A/B/C"

```auto
items = []
for row in range(value.rowCount):
	path = value.getValueAt(row, 0)
	
	current = items
	for part in path.split("/"):

		# Check if the current folder exists in our items list
		folderExists = False
		for itemsPointerItem in current:
			if part == itemsPointerItem['label']:
				folderExists = True
				current = itemsPointerItem['items']

		if not folderExists:
			item = {
				"label": part,
				"expanded": False,
				"items": [],
				"data": path,
				"icon": {
				  	'path': 'material/stop',
				  	'color': 'red',
				  	'style': {}
				} 
			}
			current.append(item)
			current = item['items']

return items

```
