Summary0002149: LA: Calculator fails to handle identical attribute names
DescriptionWhen the "Append Attributes" filter is applied to two datasets which have attributes with the same name, the calculator only shows one instance of the attribute name. This means you cant distinguish between one dataset and another when the attribute names are the same. Perhaps there should be a prefix with the datasets name in the calculator scalar and vector menus?

This is not a GUI issue. VTK datasets cannot have two attributes with the same name because the attributes are accessed by name and name has to be unique. We could fix the VTK filter. Should we do it?

We will have a better way of dealing with this in the future. Probably using the Python calculator, which will take multiple inputs.
