Maintain "Display Format" Settings when changing to array

Status: Declined

Moved to CAR database: CAR 552697

I love this options "Change to array" and "Change to element" in the context menu. Additional idea:

I have a numeric constant with certain "Display Format" settings such as a hexadecimal appearance with leading zeros and visible radix:

When I turn this constant into an array using the function mentioned above the format settings get lost. Same behaviour vice versa as well.

It would be very nice if this settings would be retained.

 

Thanks for the good work!

This should be normal behavior. I would almost call it a bug. Kudos.

I agree that it's a bug. I'll try to fix it in LabVIEW 2016. CAR 552697 filed.
