Data tables for grouping - enable "shape by" option for multiple data tables. Merged

Hi developers,

The data table for group "Color by" /"Size by"/"Rotaion by" can be changed to any loaded table, but the data table for the group "Shape by" can not be changed.

Is there any way to add the functionality to the Group "shape by", too.
Please find the attached example template and screenshot size by/ rotation by properties where we able to choose a table from all tables in the template to size/rotation by.
I marked the Population by Color in the upper graph. I switched the data table to be able to choose "Technology" as the marking criteria.

I´d like to do the same procedure for marking by shape, but if you click on "shape by" you can see that the data table can’t be changed.
. Please refer to TIBCO support ticket Case_ID:01871064 for the example template.

Thanks!
