Currently, Multi-State formatting is primarily applied to the fill color. Please provide separate options to apply Multi-State formatting to either the Fill or the Border independently.

Allow multiple instances of an AVEVA Adapter to exist on the same server without using Docker

Currently, there can be only 1 instance of a specific AVEVA Adapter on each server if Docker is not used. However, within that instance, multiple components and data sources can be configured. This is convenient, but then the service account for t...
