Hello,

I would like to use the flow\_dropdown value property and pass it to a trend visible property in the TimeSeriesChart. I thought I could create a custom property called "dropdownValue" (with a binding to the flow\_dropdown.props.value property) in the Gauge Left view and then bring it into the Graph view through a parameter called "dropdownValue". Then bind the trend visible property to the parameter. However, this is not working as I expected. The custom property must not be passing the value? I appreciate any assistance.

Create a session.custom property and bind both components to that. The `flow_dropdown` binding will need to be set to Bidirectional so that it can write to the session.custom property.
