Hi Nayeem,

thanks for the feedback, and this is an interesting question.

A decent workaround if you need to collect the same attribute for two
different programs is simply to define the exact same attribute for those
programs.

We have been considering for a while to associate attributes with tracked
entities. The benefit of this is added flexibility. The downside is added
complexity and potential confusion, e.g. if you have defined attributes for
both the tracked entity and the program - then which ones win? Anyway, if
enough people request this we might do it ;)

regards,

Lars
