Improve Item Selection for Enums and Rings with Large Lists

Status: Completed

Available in LabVIEW 2020 and later. When you right-click an enum or ring and choose 'Select Item...', you get a Quick Drop-like UI that lets you type text to search for and select an item.

Here's an enum with a lot of elements:

The enum has a built-in right-click menu to 'Select Item', but it's worthless... it does exactly the same thing as clicking on the enum directly:

I think we should replace the 'Select Item' right-click on enums and rings with a Quick Drop-like UI that lets you filter the enum/ring contents and select an item without having to scroll a giant list:
