Support "category" for the name substitution parameter in AF template

Use category of an attribute for the name substitution parameter of the PI point data reference

    What would you expect if the attribute has multiple categories defined? Would you expect a string with a semicolon separator between each category?

    Hi David, if the substitution brings back multiple attributes that have the same set of categories then, Pi AF would populate the templatized element with multiple attributes. For the AF substitution, we would expect to see something like %AttributeCategoryName|Category1:Category2:CategoryN%. Thanks, Edward

    I share Edward's idea. If an element has multiple categories, it would be nice to have the same amount of attributes. By using the power of templates, we will gain a lot of time.
