I hope the attached image explains what I am trying to achieve, is there a way to link the properties relating to the volume slice across two views so that they both update at the same time?

Thank you in advance for any advice.

Yes, you should be able to link the representations together.

Thanks Mathieu, that works for, say, the Blend Mode drop-down, but not for updating the location of the slice unfortunately.

I confirm that it doesnt work. Probably because it goest through a proxy property.

Okay, thank you.

I wonder if there could be a workaround using a custom XML widget+python to drive the property in each representation?
