Manually Editing AF String in PIVISION instead of "Browsing"

Hi.

I am currently working with lots of displays where we manually link everything to AF.

In processbook you can open the properties of an object (Value, Multistate) after it has been selected and manually change the AF String to make this work go really fast for multiple/hundreds of objects.

For instance if I am going drag out a value from:

\\AFServer\Database\Structure1\GenericLocation1\Equipment|Attribute1

I do this once.

Then I copy paste the object, open the properties and change GenericLocation from 1 to 2, and press okay.

\\AFServer\Database\Structure1\GenericLocation2\Equipment|Attribute1

and it should work automatically if the attribute is there.

In PIVIsion I have to manually browse back and forward to do this work, and each time I do that the AF tree has to load (sometimes its fast, sometimes its not), and all in all it takes a lot of time when doing hundreds of attributes this way.

Each display is unique, usually following P&ID or Schematic diagrams, so we cannot automate this work with collections or element relative displays.
