Attributes for Data Snake

I am using a 4way and 8way data attribute in the lighting instrument maintenance list for my data snakes.  It gives me a Unit #0.0 for the head and then subsequently #0.1, #0.2, #0.3, #0.4 and so on for the tails on the data snake.  It works great for me within Lightwright but I want to get the attributes to show under the instrument in Vectorworks so the plot shows the data in the data snake tail user field.  
Any ideas?
