How to enable local bound for thingshape property?

[Sathishkumar_C]

Hi All,

I am trying to enable local bounding with thingshape's property which is implemented on thing. How to enable local bounding with own thing property?

Ex. Created a thing "TestThing" with "ThingProperty" and Implemented "TestThingShape" with "ThingShapeProperty". Trying to enable local bound "ThingShapeProperty" with "ThingProperty". It was binded with "ThingProperty" but data was not updated.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi, Sathishkumar.

What version of ThingWorx are you using? There are no errors thrown in either the UI or the logs when you try this?

Thanks,

Thank you for your response.
I saw an error "Can not bind yourself" in application log.

yes, even i am getting the same error when i tried same scenario at my local end.

error : Cannot Bind To Yourself

i think thingshape becomes values when it is implemented by some thing -- thingshape being alone doesn't make sense

so in our case when our thing implements that thingshape -- properties defined in both thing & thingshape are both confined to same thing entity.. thats why it gives the error : Cannot Bind To Yourself

but if you create another thing and bound the properties between these 2 things - bind happens

I want bind thing property to thingshape property. here thingshape attached with source thing which is having a thingshape.

Thanks & Regards,

perform these steps - this is working at my end

after mapping -- value is getting passed from thingshape property to testthing property but vice versa not happening but this time with below configurations it is not showing any error as well( i believe in backend it works)

1. create thingshape named as testthingshape with thingshapeproperty

2. create a thing named as testthing with genericthing as thingtemplate and testthingshape as thingshape

3. create a testthingprop in testthing

4. map the bindings on testthing - go to manage bindings- select testthing as thing --- drag the testthingprop to right side thingshapeproperty

5. now pass the value to thingshapeproperty from testthing using set value option

6. same text will be visible to testthingprop
