What:
Add the ability to use the same name for multiple layers/elements in GT. Or add the ability to use a different name for data source mapping.

Why:
I have a statistics title that has 3 top players which looks like this:

As you can see, I have used the same words multiple times - for example, "POINTS" has 6 different elements and each of them must have a different name. Now if I want to make them dynamic via Data Source I need to have 6 additional columns instead of one to change all "POINTS" fields. If I want to make all of them dynamic, I need 24 columns instead of 4.

Why do I want to make them dynamic? The first row of the data source is for one set of stats and the second is for the second set of stats, changing between the lines would change stats and descriptions at the same time. Having 4 columns instead of 24 would lessen the data being pulled and make Data Source window loading/updating faster and more compact.

I also understand that the naming must be unique due to limitations that are not under vMix control but allowing different names for data source field mapping could be implemented, I hope.
