Discussed in https://github.com/frangoteam/FUXA/discussions/1230

Originally posted by **henjoe** June 12, 2024 Will it be possible to have a placeholder in the charts? Instead of selecting an specific tags here: ![image](https://github.com/frangoteam/FUXA/assets/49782655/4bb99d46-4db5-4a53-a1ff-054cd001d1fe) It would be nice if we can use Placeholder and then bind that placeholder variable to a real-tags. Use Cases: - Creating an templated graphics that has a Trend graph on it.

Yes, also looking for this great feature!

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

killerbeat12 commented 4 months ago

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?
