I know this has most likely been brought up before, but i'd like to see the option to change the new Pi tag created name in the window

I know this has most likely been brought up before, but i'd like to see the option to change the new Pi tag created name in the window that pops up after clicking Map, new Attribute. I don't need the %ID% added to the point name.

    Jeff, We append the %ID% because that's unique and is necessary when you work with templates. As an example, if you have an element template which includes an analysis template, and this analysis template creates tags because you're storing the calculation results. With that configuration, when you create X instances of the element from template, you would create X instances of the analyses. Without a %ID%, all these analyses would be writing their results to the same (one) output PI Point. We encourage our users to not worry about the PI Point name, but rather work through AF attributes and if you do that, the fact that the PI Point name as an unique ID appended to the end is irrelevant.
