Duplicate tags in one symbol

[cbenner]

I see lots of threads about duplicate tags, but nothing that addresses this.  I'm settin gup Electrical to run P&ID's.  Is there any way to have one symbol that has duplicate tags on it?  Here is an example.  It is a block valve, bought as an assembled unit.  It has the valve, a solenoid on the actuator and limit switches.  All 4 instruments are part of one unit and have the same tag number, with a different tag designation.

Can this be done somehow?

No, that's why you never found an answer.
Perhaps a FIELD? Or a DynBlock? Or head over to the customization forums for coding help.

Bugger.  I had a feeling that was the answer.

Thanks Dean.  Looks like customization time!

Will this not work?

And use this for the split tag.

I bow before your greatness sir!  This is a simple and elegant solution to my problem.  It's amazing how much you don't know you don't know.... until you know it! 

This is exactly what I wanted.  Thanks for the tip on the split tags as well, but that one I pretty much had working form another tip I got last year.
