Edit Map Constant and Set Constant

[_Y_]

Collections is a great feature recently added to LabVIEW. However there are simple practical questions. Probably I am too bad internet searcher, so please answer.

Map Constant or Set constant contain no data when placed in BD from palette. However, data-containing indicator can be converted to data-containing constant. Thus constant can contain data.

I cannot find a way to edit such a constant directly in BD. The values are not accessible with any tool. Please advise how Map Constants and Set Constants can be edited?

You can't.

See this idea "Allow-editing-of-map-and-set-constants" for a discussion and some workarounds and ideas.

Main problem is the design of an interface to facilitate the editing. So if you have ideas about that (or a solution), post it there.
