Allow individual elements of arrays to have different labels and/or captions

Status: Declined
Technically unfeasible because of memory bloat.

Currently, if you change the label and/or caption of a single element in an array, it changes the label and/or caption for the entire array.  It would be extremely helpful if individual array elements could have their own label and/or caption.

That is because every item in an array must have all the exact same properties (color, font, size, visibility, disabled, etc).  That is not something this is going to change just because that would cause a MASSIVE design change for NI.

It would also cause a massive bloat in the size of every front panel every time you tried to put a new value into the array -- we would have to clone the entire property set for every value. Your 10,000 data point array would to be really expensive to display!
