Dynamically change binding of field

Question

Hello all,
I am attempting to develop a form in which the binding of the fields is not yet known at design time.
What I am trying to do is the following:
In the "initialize" event of the form, I have typed the following:
HEADER.FIELD.bind.ref = "$record.DATA_IN.SUBFORM.DATA[1].NAME";
HEADER.FIELD.bind.match = "dataRef";
"HEADER" is a subform with a text field called "FIELD" in it. What happens is: plain nothing - although there is data in the specified node, the fields remains empty.
If I comment out the two lines and put the "$record.DATA_IN.SUBFORM.DATA[1].NAME" directly to the "binding" property, it works just fine. Setting the default binding to "normal" and trying to set it via code does not...
Any hints? Am I missing some important step?
Thanks

Hello,
I was trying to utilize the same to dynamically bind a text field of a row in a table. The row has been dynamically created at runtime (using instance manager - that is working). Here is the code I used inside the click event of the button after the row instance is created:
$template.data.resolveNode("relocation.tablesubform.addtable.datarow[1]").country_data.bin d.ref
= "$record.COUNTRY.DATA[*].FIELD";
$template.data.resolveNode("relocation.tablesubform.addtable.datarow[1]").country_data.bin d.match= "dataRef";
And the code used in ready form event of the button:
$form.remerge();
But for some reason the text field is not getting bound. Could you please advise?
Thanks
