Override analysis of template based element

Currently you can override an analysis of a base template in a derived template by creating an analysis with the same name. Unfortunately it is not possible to do the same in an element that is based on a template. I do not want to create a derived template for rare cases where the analysis of the template has to be tweaked for a special elements.

    In your element instance, simply disable the analysis from the template and create an additional analysis. This behavior was designed to support your described need. We want to avoid overriding templates as much as possible because over time, it becomes much more difficult to manage the system since individual instances would behave differently.

    Unfortunately your proposal does not work: - Simply stopping the template based analysis is confusing as nobody knows if the analysis is stopped by accident or intentionally. You can set the description, but that is bad. - The overrriden analysis must have a different name (ok we could live with that) - Mapping an output attribute is possible by design, but does not work. Error message: '...Attribute' is mapped as output for more than one analysis (AnalysisName)
