Looks like the name property to me, but that's just a guess based on the error you show. Do you know what component would have a binding or script writing to that property? Perhaps save a copy of the window, and then divide the window into section, where you delete a section at a time and look for the error to disappear. Then once you narrow down a section, divide that section into smaller parts or just peek at each component until you find it. ---

What version of Ignition are you using? See: > [@\[IGN-4671\]Random Component Name Error in Vision Client](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/ign-4671-random-component-name-error-in-vision-client/23521/43): > > The workaround I mentioned above will automatically applied by Ignition starting in 8.1.19. Anyone on any older 8.X version should be able to apply it with a client startup script with the same end result. ---

The version is 8.1.37. Thanks ---

I started doing that, although a bit slow. This how I found out which windows was causing the message to pop up. Thanks ---

When I've seen this problem, it has always been caused by a binding on the `Name` property. Expand all containers in the project browser, and then, starting at the window and root container levels, quickly click down through everything while looking at the `Name` property in the Vision Property Editor. If the name property looks like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/3/739ea4e9c9002ac12ebd93112b0771b4ac1f6624.png) ...then check the binding to see if it could be inserting an invalid or null character at run time. ---

> [@justinedwards.jle](#): > > then ~~check~~ _ **remove** _ the binding Fixed that for you. Binding to control a component's name should never have been allowed by the platform. It breaks in a variety of ways. Name must be the **driver** of any automation, not the target of it. ---

It looks like the issue was due to me typing a number as the name of the component. Thanks all for the reply.
