Asset Comparison Table does not show "No Data" when assets are missing attributes

As a user of PI Vision, I would like my asset comparison table objects to not show "No Data" when I compare differing assets that do not necessarily share all of the listed attributes.  I would rather they appear as blank boxes as it more appealing to the user and gives them a better understanding of the actual asset behavior.

    Furthermore, it would be preferable if Excluded attributes would also show up as blanks rather than No Data whenever they are used in PI Vision.

    The PI Vision 2017 R2 release included enhancements to symbols to better support excluded attributes. If attributes are flagged as “excluded” in an AF hierarchy, values will not be displayed in the table symbol and asset comparison table in PI Vision. Other symbols will display “N/A” for excluded attributes. https://feedback.osisoft.com/forums/320517/suggestions/17829118 We will consider expanding on this behavior to address missing attributes and to completely excluded or missing attributes in non-table symbols in a future release.

    While this is subject to user preference, I tend to agree that "No Data" is not a useful message and is undesired in Vision screens because it implies there was a bad tag or an error of some sort.   Since my asset tables are usually created based on elements using a common template, I do not have many situations where an attribute does not exist for one of the elements.  However, I frequently exclude attributes for particular elements, and when an attribute is excluded, it shows a blank cell in the asset table.  This behavior sounds similar to what you want.  Unfortunately, it is inconsistent, as gauges and value displays show N/A for excluded attributes.
