Increment label ending in numeral when copying control

[garrettmarsh]

The idea is simple: if the label ends in a number (i.e. consecutive string of numeric characters), increment that number:

It seems like it only works if there is a space character. If there is a good reason for doing it that way, help me understand what it is.

I linked some similar ideas below. I like these discussions for the most part, but they tend to have broader scopes than what I'm suggesting.

The actual behavior is annoying. The expected behavior would save lot of time, specially when you have tons of FP elements that you want to copy.

I really support this.

Ran into this today. Super annoying.

This idea is seven years old and it's still considered "new"? Today I had to make a UI with 200 indicators, numbered 1-200. I hate LabVIEW UIs.

That's a 2 minute VI Server solution! I love LabVIEW for that...
