At the moment, that is not possible. I had planned for quite some time to implement that. But I don‘t know what the core developers think of this.

Hi,

I'm trying to access record fields as PVs using alias command, such as:

alias("det1.NELM", "det1:NELM")

alias("det1.TSEN", "det1:TSEN")

The IOC didn't report errors, but apparently they all pointed to det1 as the change to det1 appeared on these aliases, and vice versa, and this was proved by dbla.

If alias command is not the right choice, are there any ways to create aliases/dummy PVs for fields?

Best,
-Ji Li
