associate property node with new indicator/control

[sholtz]

How can I take a property node populated with specific fields and switch which indicator or control it is associated with? For example, if I am copying and pasting property nodes from one VI to another, and want to re-use the property node with a different indicator that requires the same fields. This will save a ton of time in not having to re-create all of the property nodes for every new indicator/control.

What do you want to do with the Property nodes? Update the value or accessing the control/Indicator GUI property? I am pretty sure you can do that in a different way.

Create references and use a explicit PN and use one for updating all the controls/indicators (if it supported depending on data type)

Edit: My bad I was wrong.

Right-click the property node -> link to…

You can right-click a property node and unlink it to make it explicit as P@Anand suggests.

You can also ignore that if you wish to keep it implicit and right-click, scroll down to "Link to" and navigate that window to Pane->New Control

That will change which control the property node is linked to.  You can use either of these to get your desired result.

Thanks a lot, I was having trouble googling this!
