AVEVA Product Feedback
First of all, the "Assign to variable" feature in asset-analytics is amazing and helps a lot with refactoring previously created analyses, so kudos and thanks!
What would be even more amazing is if I had the ability to select a variable name wen assigning an expression to a variable.
The current behavior to name the variables Variable1, Variable2,...VariableN introduces room for error as I have to go through all the variable names and equations and rename them to something significant. Furthermore, if I forget to rename a variable somewhere, and assign a new expression to a variable, it becomes even more confusing as the variable numbers are reused.
I hope you will look into this.
If you rename an Attribute that is references in an Analytic, the Analytic is updated with the new Attribute name.
If you change the Variable Name, then any references to in later lines are not updated.
Am I missing something? The ability to rename the variable (left-most column) has always been available in Asset Analytics. Just left-click in the cell and edit to the name of your choosing. Other tips: you can have trailing comments by using "\\here is a comment" at the end of a line. You can also span multiple lines per expression by using Shift+Enter.
