In the subjected component, inside a template, if i put in the "Root node path” property a fixed value, it works perfectly. If i bind the “Root node path” to a custom property (or a template parameter - the same) the behaviour is “random”: some times when the template is invoked it works, some times not (show all the connections instead of the bound one). It seems a sort of “delay” in binding evaluation: like the component being instanced and then the binding is coming. Not being in a template any “opening” event, I do not have any idea how to manage the delay (if that is the issue). How can I sort out? ---

I have this issue as well on templated bindings with passed parameters. I notice it only because I get gateway log errors that the historian path doesn’t exist. It mostly seems to do it on sparklines for me. However, the bindings do resolve after a short delay. I’ve tried fixed datasets coalesced with the actual dataset but still have the issue. It hasn’t been a high priority to solve, but would be nice to have a solution. ---

Yes, it seems being the same. I worked around with a “static” value, indeed not what I wish/need to do. I need to have a dynamic expression resolving the Root tag path, as foreseen being bindable. It can be either in the template calling window (via parameter, so before the template is involed) or in a custom property inside the template itself. Any suggestion/solution? Thx ---

Consider using a static value to start up with, that will reliably yield an empty tree. Then, use a template internal property with the actual binding desired. Use a propertyChange event to write from the bound property, **when it is valid** , to the tree's root path prop. ---

Thx Phil. Understood the logic/approach. What do u mean with “when it is valid”? Practically, how to test the binding validity inside the property change eventi? ---

Probably just check for the leading open bracket that starts the tag provider name. Empty or null would be invalid and not passed on. ---

Very clever! It works perfectly now. So useful as logic/approach also for other stuff. Many thanks
