I have a case that requires an object property's sub-property to be bound automatically to some defined property, but unbind old and rebind new on any change in the parent property; namely reverse select binding.

For illustration only (my case is different but far too complex to explain here) say i have a label that you are allowed to change for different size/color/font etc. but the text should remain the same:

StringProperty text;
ObjectProperty<Label> label;

Bindings.select(label, "text").bind(text);

Of course this is illegal since binding is possible on properties only.

Except of explicitly listen for changes, is there an out-of-the-box solution for this?

I would think a listener would be the easiest way to do this – James_D Jun 11 '17 at 17:30
@James_D Clear response from the JavaFX expert. Thanks. – Mordechai Jun 11 '17 at 17:32
Did you ever find a solution that involves binding? – geometrikal Aug 29 '18 at 13:28
Nothing so far, but maybe try [ReactFX](https://github.com/TomasMikula/ReactFX), maybe they have a way doing it, not sure. – Mordechai Aug 29 '18 at 18:00
