Factory Talk Batch Interface EVT file contains useful data in the Recipe column. Can we please add Recipe as a placeholder in the Interface?

The EVT file from FTB has 27 columns, the most populated one is Recipe. There is useful information there that could be used to filter and select data for storage in PI. Unfortunately it isn't available in the Placeholder list of 42 placeholders from the documentation. Likely this would have to be an alternate string than Recipe as that holds a significant place in the ini file. [RecipeString] is the name I would request for this placeholder as it would be a specific accurate name.

    The information in the 'Recipe' column in the EVT file is parsed into a few different placeholders, namely [Procedure], [UnitProcedure], [Operation], [Phase], etc.

    If you require this information now, it should possible to recreate the 'Recipe' column with a combination of placeholders, such as: [Procedure]\[UnitProcedure]\[Operation]\[Phase], etc.

    I would just use [Recipe], the name of the column in the .EVT and Rockwell documentation.
