Edit PI Vision data item references in a text field

Searching for and dragging and dropping a new PI tag reference takes much longer than right-clicking and editing the tag name. Can PI Vision be designed to follow the historical PI Processbook design where the tag name reference was a text-editable field?


This has further implications for editing the tags on an existing trend:


Searching for and dragging and dropping a new PI tag reference into an existing trend alters the formatting of all existing trend lines. Some groups follow certain trend line formatting for all Setpoints/Measurements/Output readings. Therefore, when updating a tag name, they must re-configure the formatting for all tags in that trend. This is very time consuming.

Please do this!
