Bit of a niche one but I'm sure it applies elsewhere: Currently, if I attach a jumper between a breakout and a lighting instrument, it fills the lighting instruments 'circuit number' field in the OIP with the output name on the breakout, something like "output-1". Even less helpful, if there is a twofer between the breakout and lighting instrument, that circuit number field is filled with the twofers output name, not output name of the breakout. Conversely, the breakout doesn't reference the fixture with a twofer in the way, so when I attach a data tag to the breakout, I have to manually fill data for any fixtures that are twofered. My desired behavior would be for the 'circuit number' field to get filled with just the circuit number as an integer. Then the 'circuit name' field should fill with <breakout-ID>/<circuit#>. The information should be linked between the fixture and the breakout, not the twofer. A twofer splits a single circuit, it doesn't create two new ones. so for example: If I connect fixture 211 and 212 to a twofer, which is then connected to circuit 4 on breakout LX3-1, the circuit numbers for fixture 211 and 212 should fill as "4" and the circuit names should be "LX3-1/4". Additionally, the breakout should reference fixtures 211 and 212 under its output-4 instead of the twofer. I think the best way to make this work for everyone, would be to have user-definable rules for how these fields fill, like an excel sheet. I want to be able to tell a cell in the OIP to fill with xx info from here and yy info from there.
