SubVI to copy variant attributes or to set an array of attributes to a new variant

[dthor]

Hey LV Forums!

I thought I'd share this little subVI I've made. At one point in time, I needed to copy all the attributes from one variant to another. Simple enough, really, but I figured someone might make use of it. Look, it even have error handling!
