Pollutants can't be attached to direct [INFLOWS]

[MitchHeineman]

Pollutants cannot be attached to direct [Inflows], but can be assigned to every other flow source (i.e. rainfall, groundwater, I&I, and DWF)

Clarification - one can add pollutants to [INFLOW] on a node-by-node basis as in the example shown below, but cannot assign it globally, as allowed for groundwater, rainfall/runoff, DWF, and RDII

Can't we use the scaling factor and have many nodes use one pollutograph time series?

[MitchHeineman]

Perhaps my application is esoteric, but I wanted to attach tracers to baseflows specified via the [Inflows] section, as well as to other flow types. For other types, I simply needed to create a pollutant and assign a source concentration of 100 to track flow fractions in the collection system. For inflows, I needed to create a concentration entry for each load point, as shown below. Thus, I didn't need a timeseries, but did need to create an entry for each load point. If no one has complained about the awkwardness of this configuration in the two decades since SWMM5 was released, I suppose it's moot.

Now that you mention it this has been a complaint in other software as well. It would be nicer to have on global concentration applied to the time series like all of the other processes you mentioned
