"optionally, add a button and event case to the main.vi for a new request, to be able to trigger the same MHL case from the module's UI."

I have checked one of the main.vi-s you linked in a different topic and now I guess I understand this comment a lot better than before. So are you suggesting that the main.vi can be used as something displayed to the user? I never thought about this, but for the first sight it makes sense.

Yes, definitely! For our applications, anything the user gets to see is a main.vi of some DQMH module. Could be a pure UI module, could be a functional module with added UI.

For low-level modules, it's quite handy to use the main.vi's front panel for a "manual mode" or "expert view" (different customers have different names for this)...

Awesome! I guess this subject is something I really did overthink while a relatively simple solution was just right before my eyes. Thanks!
