The Boolean text and the label text serve two completely independent and non-substitutable purposes. The label is the non-localizable, programmatic name that associates the control with the FPTerminal on the block diagram and which can be used in VI Server protocols. The Boolean text is the user-displayable, click responsive text that can be localized in displays. When first dropping the control, both are necessary, though after labeling, the label is often hidden.
I forgot you can't EDIT your idea posts so I can go back and put the pictures inline, which means you have to put them into your gallery, which, of course, completely breaks the links when you clear the gallery, which, of course, means you CAN NEVER CLEAR YOUR GALLERY. Which, of course, means, what's the point of being able to clear your gallery? I ask.
Maybe you want to start a new idea from scratch and have this one deleted?
Anyway, the title is also a bit confusing, because it mixes the generic term of a "radio button control" with the "radio button booleans" potentially contained in one.
As you hinted with the images, I tpyically want the control labels to be the same as the boolean text (or sometines a short version of the boolean text).
You want to change the labels to be meaningful to the programmer, and you want to change the boolean text to be meaningful to the user. After you've done this, you want to hide the labels. The easiest way to accomplish both of these tasks is to have both the labels and the boolean text visible from the start, which is how things currently work.
Ah, yes, I hit this all the time, definitely a Kudo from me. I vote boolean text as well, I use a trackball and when you're moving fast, hitting tiny dots isn't always easy ; )
