Description

__Proposal:__
Capability for cell title to change when a tag variable is set. Could be any variable but use case could see tags being the most useful (ex: toggling between devices and view their names in the cell header).

__Current behavior:__
In order to see what the data in the cell addresses in a dashboard, need to refer to the top where a variable is selected.

__Desired behavior:__
Define variable in a cell title and have it change dynamically based off selection.

__Alternatives considered:__
None

__Use case:__
Improves dashboard experience with variables.
