Allow Drag and Drop of Like Datatypes to populate an Array Constant

Status: New

This is an excellent feature for populating a new cluster that I use everyday:

This is a feature that needs to be added:

Stipulation: if several constants are highlighted, and they are the same datatype, then allow them to be dropped into an empty array; else, disallow dropping. This will determine the datatype of the array, and initialize the first n items that you dropped in.

I would also like to have support for the the reverse operation. For example if I have an array diagram constant such as on the bottom right in the image, I would like to be able to drag the elements out to the diagram and end with the result on the bottom left.

I could see implementing this as a JKI Right-Click Framework option...highlight the 5 string constants and choose "Convert to Array" to get the result you're describing.
