NI TestStand Idea Exchange
The MOST annoying part of working with TestStand is the fact that the developer has to re-enter e-v-e-r-y bloody value for a given parameter when the prototype changes in a LabVIEW VI.
As a sister idea to this one, what is more annoying is the fact that when the container exists for a previous step and is already populated with all the values that you want to repeat elsewhere, TestStand does not allow you to copy and replace a parameter! Unless there a non-obvious way of doing this (I will attempt a few unorthodox ways to get this done). If so, it should be an obvious method and not something that requires contortions to accomplish a simple copy & paste.
Even if the copy & paste could be done from within the parameters, ie: ability to select multiple values and paste them all into the parameter. This is such a basic feature is most or all programming languages and applications that I cannot believe it does not exist in TestStand.
In this particular case, the values are from Locals. variables. And there are lots of them; between two parameters, over 300!!
Let's get on with the times!! Improve the copy & paste feature, even for an ultra basic request like the one Ray Farmer requested in 2011.. See this link:
