Allow the PI Point description to not be populated by the adapter

Implement a configuration flag that allows one to NOT synchronize description from OPC UA server into PI Tag. In instances where the description is empty "", the description cannot be set in PI. Similarly, the description on the OPC UA Server side may need to be different than the one used on PIDA

    It has come to my attention that there is a bug in the implementation of the IncludeSourceProperties parameter in the adapter, specifically related to the Description property. When the parameter is set to "None" or "Description" is not specified in the list of properties, the Description field of the PI point is overwritten with an empty string regardless of whether a Description already exists on the PI point. While there is no workaround, if your OPC UA server has no information in the Description field, the OPC UA adapter will not overwrite the Description specified in the PI Point when the IncludeSourceProperties is set to "All" or "Description" is included in the parameter. We will reopen this feedback item and you can track the status of the bug through the following link: https://customers.osisoft.com/s/knowledgearticle?knowledgeArticleUrl=18C22A27-6BDF-44FD-A66B-F213E2C65099

    I apologize for the inconvenience this has caused for you and your business. I will reopen this feedback item so that you can track the status of this issue. Other supported properties, such as UOM, are still manageable with this parameter. Please let me know if you have any additional questions around this issue.

    In the release notes it is listed under enhancements:


    Support for users to specify whether to replicate certain properties from the data source or keep existing value in the data endpoint


    And is configured in "Adapter-wide parameters" (includeSourceProperties)

    Thanks for the update.

    This is not reflected in the release notes at docs.aveva.com. Can you please engage with the documentation team to include it (and any other improvements which may have slipped through the documentation cracks).

    All the votes and comments from this Connector idea are equally valid for the adapter.

    I would extend the argument further to include UOM as described here
    https://pisystem.feedback.aveva.com/ideas/PIADAPTERS-I-76

    which only talks about ADH, but should also include PI Server.
