View data across AF Element Versions

Handle the ability to trend data from attributes across AF Element Versions.  For example, when old sensors have been replaced with a new control system, new tags are created and customers use AF Element Versions to manage the mapping between the old and new tags.  Users would like to use and visualize data across this versioning time point.

    Where do need this trend of versioned attributes be fixed/applied?
    It works with PI System Explorer trending if the Element is not configured with a template (But it doesn't work in PIVision. PiVision works only if the timeperiod for the display is entirely inside one Version time-period. If the timeperiod crosses a version boundary, then PIVision just shows data for attributes for the first version)

    PI System Explorer trending doesn't work if the element is configured with a Template.
    Versioning for AF Elements should work in all of these situations:
    PIvision, PI System Explorer Time-series-data trend, Trend, PI WebApi , PI RTQP/OLEDB,
    With an Element without a template in both Version1 and version2.
    With an Element without a template in Version1, and with a Template in Version 2
    With an element with a template in Version1 and without a template in Version2.
    With a template A in Version 1 and templateB in Version2.

    Todd, I really like this use case. I would love to see this ability brought online by OSIsoft. The ability to trend an attribute from an element with different versions would be very useful for reviewing asset performance where service life is decades long. During that time, there could be many changes to not only the asset itself, but process conditions upstream and downstream. The ability to conveniently trend/analyze that data would be very powerful from a maintenance and integrity perspective. It would also enable much more accurate forecasted values and machine learning applications.
