Ability to change trace source tag from inside Configure Trend Dialog box of the trend

In PI Processbook, the user can replace the tagname assigned to a trace in a trend simply by typing over the tagname with the new tagname. Provide this feature to replace existing tags inside a trend.

  1. In ProcessBook method for swapping out tags in display: Pull up the Item Definition (Define Trend Dialog) and type over any tags in the plot.

  2. In PI Vision, if I want to swap out tagnames in a display, I have to go to the:

    a. Asset dialog
    b. Type in tag name
    c: Wait for search
    d: Drag the desired tag on top of my existing trend
    e: Delete my other trends that I no longer want in this new copy of the
    trend
    f: Change the color of the trend to match my preferred color scheme

    Should be able to do this for any object on a display, not just trends.

    This was available in PI ProcessBook, so it is disappointing that it did not carry over to PI Vision. I agree this is very annoying when you need to tweak an existing tag: you need to search, drag+drop, and then manually copy over any point configuration details that you want to keep. Please do this!

    Although I mention "edit existing tagnames inside a trend", I wish to "replace an existing tag in the trend" e.g. change source tag for a trace from 10FC100 to 10FC301.
