Automatically add new attributes to existing views

As a PI administrator I want the integrator to detect new attributes on a template and add them to existing views automatically. This would be easier than creating a new view and asking users to reference this new output.

    This feature has been considered and has been rejected as not practical. SQL Server targets and other relational databases, files, and other destinations do not support efficient means of adding columns and inserting new data into existing data structures. There is a heavy reliance on bulk calls for performance reasons. Alternatives involve post processing a more generic table that can handle attribute additions.

      Please add this feature! I have over 10 SQL views, and not being able to add/del attributes after the view is published significantly limits my use cases of this integrator product. In fact, this issue is forcing me to investigate alternative solutions.
