Make all circuit information available for wire tagging

Make all circuit information available for wire tagging

There is a ton of information in circuits that cannot be tagged. Wires should contain all information contained within the circuit.

 

My particular application: I have a shared project parameter in my circuits called "Breaker_function". I use this to indicate whether a breaker is to be GFCI, AFCI, Lockable, etc...

 

My company also wants to put this information in the circuit tag so it's clear in plan view. For example, if circuit P-3 needed a GFCI breaker, the tag would say P-3(G). To do this, I can add the project parameter to the wire and it's available for tagging, but it doesn't get its value from the circuit - therefore, I have to enter the parameter value twice: once for the circuit and once for the wire.

 

Why not make anything parameter/data contained within the circuit available in the wire also, so that it may be tagged?

Whether it's a light fixture or electrical fixture, it would be nice to pull certain data from the circuit to the tag. For example, breaker size. I have a tag for mechanical equipment that indicates the unit ID, panel/circuit - and that all works. But we like to include the breaker size at the panel on the tag itself, so currently that's just a(nother) manually-entered text parameter into the tag itself (whether it's in the tag or in the family being tagged, it's still a manual entry). 

 

If I could tag an electrical fixture and pull information that's associated with the items circuit, that would help bridge this gap a little. I'm not familiar with Plumbing and Mechanical workflows, but maybe there's a similar scenario.
