"The name is 100% correct, since I used the 'select item' menu and selected the item from there. " This does not ensure that the item actually (still) exists with the PLC - it only means that WebIQ knows it, but the referenced item in the PLC might still be gone. Please note that there are two parties involved here: WebIQ is where you setup the alias <-> item name mapping in the PLC. However, if the item is removed from the PLC it will still exist in WebIQ, but not work. "Using an input widget works correctly." This means that the item is known to WebIQ and still exists in the PLC, so that looks fine. "I have done this before using an INT placeholder and this works correctly, but now I want to use an item instead. " Please do not confuse "item name" with "item value" - WebIQ does not support item values for placeholders, only static values. By selecting "item" as the placeholder type the only thing that happens is that you can then select an item from the dropdown an the *name of the item* will be used for the placeholder, not the value.
