Ability to add step attributes at the step program level

Engagement

I would love to see the ability to specify step attributes at the step program level rather than just on the step type, similar to how we can specify group member attributes on the group type.

We are starting to use steps a lot more, and have a few step programs with 6 or more step types. Whenever we want to add or modify the same attribute for steps of every type, we have to go to every step type individually to create the new step, while making sure that each one is created identically to the others. Any time we want to use SQL to query the attribute values across all of the step types, we have to either filter on the attribute key or every individual attribute ID. And, in order to filter a data view by the attribute values, we have to add a separate attribute filter for each step type.

It be much cleaner and more efficient to be able to create and maintain the attribute once on the step program and to only have one attribute ID to filter on, much like group member attributes.
