Summary17533: Add an attribute with a specific Number or an alias
Description

When coordinating multiple surveys in sequence with persistent tokens and invitations, it can be helpful to keep Attribute numbering for shared attributes consistent throughout all surveys.

Example: Survey #1 utilizes Attribute_1 through Attribute_30 sequentially. But Survey #3 shares Attribute_1 through Attribute_10 in common with Survey #2. Now we want to add an Atttibute_31 to survey #2, skipping Attribute #11 through Attribute_30.

Additional Information

The only way to implement the above example through the current interface is to add 21 attributes to Survey #2 (Attribute_20 through Attribute_31), then delete Attribute_20 through Attribute_30 one-by-one.

Imagine a scenario where a larger sequence of surveys than just two are coordinated together. Participant tables, conditions, statements, and equations become simpler to manage across surveys where common attribute numbering is shared across surveys. This can be accomplished now, though can take some time to setup when managed through the interface when many attributes are involved.

Instead of accessing the numbering, which should be unique, I would recommend the ability to set an alias name for a column (which may not be a number),
then being able to access the attribute also by alias like {ATTRIBUTE_<alias>}
