I created a brief video on TechSmith Screencast showing a workaround (assigning instrument loop numbers to signal lines groups):

@jason.drew Thank you for that link, that's good stuff.  Have you used this method and have you run into duplicate tag number errors because of it?

[jason.drew]

It is possible to end up with duplicate loop numbers on the signal lines using the method shown in the video, even with using the loop number property as a line group property. It's still not able to check for duplicates due to some of the limitations of tagging signal lines.

I have not found a way around that other than "hacking" the project P&ID database so to speak (PnPTagEnlistedColumns table), which is not recommeded.
