Include support for no Stream ID Prefix

Leaving the Stream ID Prefix empty in the utility for the components data source sets NULL in the .json file. This results in adding a prefix to the stream which can inadvertently cause new streams to be built in the data archive instead of sending to the original stream configured.

To correct this behavior, it is necessary to go to the .json file and manually change the pattern to "". Suggest adding a check box or an option to ensure no prefix is applied.

  Thank you for sharing this feedback! We have a known issue article on the AVEVA Customer Portal that details this limitation and available workarounds: https://softwaresupportsp.aveva.com/en-US/knowledge/details/000117683?lang=en_US

  This is a known limitation of the current implementation logic and applies to all adapter types when configured with the AVEVA Adapter Configuration Utility. Currently, there is no means to save and retain an empty string for StreamIdPrefix using the utility alone. We understand the current behaviour can preclude the use of the utlity where an empty string is desired so as not to append the Component ID to the Point name. This is planned to be addressed in the next release.
