Case Structure accepting Clusters

Status: Declined

Any idea that has not received any kudos within a year after posting will be automatically declined. 

I'd like to have the ability to wire a cluster directly to the selector.  Values of the Cluster could be wrapped with brackets [], or {}, and elements separated by semicolon ; to make the various separations easier to distinguish..

You need to sell this better! Please add an image of what you have in mind and explain some typical use cases where it would be beneficial.

 

In the meantime, here are some related ideas:

Allow Multiple Case Selectors

Cluster to Case Selection

Honestly, I would call the "Allow Multiple Case Selectors" idea a duplicate of this idea, and just add a comment to that thread that "If the type that's wired to the ? is a cluster, treat it like there were multiple ? terminals." Because if you had the other idea, you'd just unbundle the cluster and have what this idea is asking for. Vice versa, if we had this idea, users could just bundle the elements before wiring to the case structure.

 

I'd close this idea as a duplicate and direct people who are interested to Kudos that other idea.

 

Spatry, do you agree with my thoughts or would you prefer to leave this idea open as its own idea? You're the author... we'll leave it to you. If you do think it should be closed as duplicate, click the "Idea Options" button, select "Report To Moderator" and ask the moderator to close as duplicate. Be sure to tell them that you are the author of this idea.

I agree Aristos, either of the ideas, suggested by Altenbach, would accomplish what I'm looking for (and are a bit more thought out)

 

I was just annoyed by a problem sort of blowing up as I enumerated the cluster combinations that needed separate case logic, and figured I'd post something
