Data Tag Sum Instruments for Position

[Mike Wood]

Hello! I'm trying to add a field to a data tag that I use for lighting position labels to represent the total instrument count of instruments that are attached to said position.

I feel like this **should** be able to happen using this Sum Insts parameter but when I do that, it displays the data as a boolean instead of an integer. Sure I'm missing something simple but I can't figure it out. 

 

Thanks!

The hanging position does not contain this data, so it can not be displayed in a data tag.
When the position summary option is checked on the hanging position an equipment summary key object is created to display the data.

What is the

Sum Insts - #Sum Insts#

 parameter actually for, then?

Ohhh, Is "sum" in this instance just short for Summary? That's a bit confusing, I'd expect it to be an actual Sum. I think I follow now. Bummer!
