Hello All. I'm working on a project using perspective and during testing/troubleshooting of the screens I noticed I'm suddenly getting an error on one of my views as seen in the log. It occurs the first time I load the screen. (I.E. if I navigate away and then back, or if I save changes in designer).

 ![PropertyReference](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/5/d5c303a89a0420fab366daae86434a0d68604436.jpeg)

The magnifying glass doesn't expand enough to tell me what component the error is on. I went through component by component looking for something off but didn't see anything. Is there a better/easier way to troubleshoot this or find more details?

Thanks in advance

Set that `PropertyReference` logger to debug and you should get a more useful value logged side-by-side with those 'failed to read value' messages.
