@logan This is a core use case and I’m experiencing the same thing: connecting data does not make it available for binding. I posted my particular version here - used both Custom JS to create state variables via API calls and the “Connect Data” tab to pull them in. State shows the data just fine. But any attempts to bind it says “No data”. See my screenshots here: Data binding displays "You have no data connected" relentlessly
11 months later is this still an unresolved issue?
