    This would be a very useful feature. Like others suggested, the multistate for string tags/attributes could be set to a string value(not case sensitive). Could add multiple string values with the Add feature similar to how add values for analog tags when configuring the multistate. Only different would be instead of <= for the string it would be just =. Could have an "Else" option if the string is not equal to any of the strings provided in the multistate or just use the color for Bad Data when the current value of the string tag/attribute does not equal any of the strings provided in the multistate.

    Yeah, this is vital for state representation. If this str.value than this color else if this str.value then this color or for all else this color.

    I need this feature for numerous displays, and was initially quite surprised I could not multi-state a string value. Please add - thanks!

    When utilizing multiple manufacturers and protocols that have attributes normalized having multistate objects based off of the UOM String value is best.

    Agreed this support is needed. Many of animations we would want to do would be on equipment status (pumps, valves, agitators, etc). We are a batch customer using mostly DeltaV as a datasource. Being able to animate on values such as "Confirmed Running" would be preferred to creating additional analytics on all equipment to convert from strings to integer values.

    Agree. If you're showing a Pump Status, for example that returns a value of Running/Stopped - it is helpful to Multi-State this instead of having to create a conversion first for the Multi-Stating.
