[FEATURE] Placeholder in Charts

[killerbeat12]

Yes, also looking for this great feature!

[unocelli]

do you have any suggestions as to how this should work?

[killerbeat12]

Yes, first i think is to clarify my meaning of placeholder, a lot of SCADA systems i used have the option to give a prefix or suffix. for example if i have the following tag: Device1_Tag1, the prefix in this tag = Device1, the suffix is Tag1 both could be addressed with a placeholder for example on this way:
If i have a prefix needed for a tag i will write the following tagname to my object %DeviceName%_Tag1
With an other object event i could assign the real name like %DeviceName% = "Device1"
So you could check in your code that everything between %...% will be replaced with this string

Does this make sense?

Next to the placeholder, with the chart i am not sure if you could make this feasible but maybe with scripting?
