Better Help Text for "Edit Mode On Open" Property

Status: Declined
Moved to CAR database. CAR#290890

What does the "Edit Mode On Open" Property do? I do not manage to do anything useful with it. Could you please improve the help text?

 

What is its purpose?

Is this setting saved when the VI is saved?

When I set it to false and open the FP thereafter programmatically, why is the VI in edit mode?

I have filed documentation CAR 290890 to address this as a bug fix instead of as an idea. This idea will be declined.

Thanks Aristos Queue! Creating a CAR (Corrective Action Request) will help our technical writers work on better documentation to make it clearer to customers what this property actually does.

Is this another one of those "You will have to wait until the bug is fixed to find out what is in it." situations?

Well, kind of... I don't know what that function does and a quick query of people didn't find anyone sitting near me who knew about it, so someone is going to have to dig into the database, find a name, maybe find the name of the person who took over when the first person left, etc, until we can find out what the function does. I put the link to this forum into the CAR, so when someone works on it, I hope they take a moment to update this... so it might be a while, but not all the way until the CAR is actually fixed.
