RELATED IDEAS

Increase the number of available Application Symbols (SUBSSYMBOLn/SUBPSYMBOLn), similar to System Automation Symbols (AOCCLONEx)

Both simple and complex environments can be managed more easily through symbol substitution. With additional Application Symbols, a more tailored approach to automation management can be achieved, reducing administration efforts through reusable definitions, especially in Application Classes. As noted in the Idea Name, a structure similar to AOCCLONEx which uses alphanumeric suffixes could be used to achieve this increase.

    Thanks for submitting this idea - what is the number of application symbols you would need. Can you give examples?

    This gets my vote. And while looking at it why is the number of clone variables limited? Why not allow us to code as many as we require?
