I’m looking for a way to make a fully dynamic Item Path, but am having trouble with the last reference. I want to have each tag reference the folder name so when I copy/paste to add more folders, the tags update as well. This would save me a ton of time manually changing that last number to match the path for each instance. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/2/7/2744838ebf7d2d503b7422c9d513af2584a71469.png) ---

You can control the way UDTs are created. i.e. 1-20 etc… If need be you can use a parameter in the UTD for binding to your path. Just have to make sure your structure is setup for it to go smoothly. ---

Did you find how to achieve that ?
