Hi There,
I forked your script and made a lots of comments to make it more understandable.
Also I made it so that if there is only one Function behind the designator it will take that for the name and adds no functions. before it was that it will add no name and one function.
Sadly i did not figure out how to clear all functions (have none, if there was one before) it can only overwrite all of them, if you add at least a single new one... sucks...
I love the PIN functions, but is so badly implemented :(
