TestStand VI in Step Settings Module does not have Default box

[jimzz1]

The Default check box does not display in Step Settings Module for the parameter. It used to do it. Is this a bug in Labview/Teststand when the VI had many controls/indicators? I am using V14.

I am running LV 2015 and TS 2014. I inherited this "Global GoTo" mess which NI developed and other folks had their fingers in. The documentation is wonderfully recursive. There are 25 plus test VIs. I included the first edited VIs which works. The front panel has a Tab box with 3 tabs Controls, Graph, and Indicators. The control clusters have been Type Def with their default values set. I tried a simple input control test and it did not work. 

1. Is there a setting for parameter default check boxes in Step Settings, Modules?

2. Is this an NI TS or LV feature for large Input VIs with many VIs?

3. Is it TS, LV, or combination? 

4. What are the valid work a rounds?

5. Can it be run if I get rid of "This expression cannot be empty" by typing in all the variables.?

6. Will putting most of the terminals into one terminal work?

According to the help, the Default option is not available if the LabVIEW terminal is marked as required:

https://www.ni.com/docs/en-US/bundle/teststand-api-reference/page/tsref/module-tab-edit-labview-vi-c...

Could that be the case for the VIs where you're seeing this behavior?

Thanks that is the solution. There is a good article in Labview-Idea-Exchange Connector-Pane-Terminals that talks about this subject. The only issue now is the program crashes on the second run with variables of the wrong type.
