Labels for "Sequence Locals" on stacked sequences

Status: Declined

It would be good to be able to add labels to each sequence local. I know you can add comment boxes but of course these do not move with the sequence local. I find that I have to switch between the stacked frames several times checking to see which line is which before i can wire it up Smiley Sad. I've added a picture to show what it looks like commented and what it could look like with labels. I wondered if the labels could be type based colour coded like other items and it would be pretty usefuil if the labels had some indication of which sequence frame was driving them e.g. Fr3/Fr9.

I'm afraid you won't get much support for any idea to improve or enhance the sequence structure primatives.

 

They are generally seen as poor style and should be replaced with a state machine or sub-vis.

Or just with Flat Sequence Structures, which eliminates the need for the labels.

I have to agree.  I promote getting rid of Stacked Sequences altogether..

I had a similar exact idea, and I found it in this old post. I often use stacked sequences (although someone can consider them poor style) and labels on sequence locals would help me considerably.
