Cloning native LVOOP Class does not update control names.

[jlokanis]

If you clone LVOOP myclass1 to myclass2 and then open the new myclass2, all the class controls and indicators will still be named myclass1.  I have created a scripting VI to clean this up.  I would like to see this fixed in a future version.

It should be applied to renaming classes as well.

I think there are VIs to do this inside

• LabVIEW 2012\resource\dialog\NewProjectWizard

(or later versions)

I think I wrote them, but I cannot remember now. Poke around and see if you find something. This is the code that generates a new project from the project templates. As part of that, we rename the controls/indicators based on the names you give to new projects. You might be able to borrow lots of that code in the future to improve template instantiation. I have grand visions of these two chunks of code getting much more unified -- the GDS and the project template wizard.
