I have a question. I am trying to change the text of button in a faceplate based on a tag.

I wrote this script to make it work with a screen item.

export function Button_1_Text_Trigger(item) {
var value;

let tag1 = Tags("HMI_Tag_2").Read();

if (tag1) = 'Enabled';}
else = 'Disabled';}

return value;
}

I tried to adapt that to the faceplate since I can't seem to assign a resource list to the text in a button in a faceplate.

I simply modified the above code to this.

export function Button_1_Text_Trigger(item) {
var value;
let tag1 = Tags("HMI_Data.Enable From HMI").Read();

if (tag1) = 'Enabled';}
else = 'Disabled';}

return value;

}

However this script does not work in the faceplate.

I'm not sure what is wrong here.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for giving a new tutorial with the WinCC Unified that is up to date. There has been so many updates and changes that the old ones out here are outdated. So thank you very much for creating a new detailed video. Quick question: there is no way to use HMI tags in faceplate? you must make the tags in "Tag interface" or "property interface" and then after link them up to HMI tags?
