LabVIEW Idea Exchange
This topic keeps coming up randomly. A LabVIEW class keeps a mutation history so that it can load older versions of the class. But how often does this actually need to be done? I have never needed it. Many others I have talked with have never needed it. But it often causes problems as projects and histories get large. For reference: Slow Editor Performance with Large LabVIEW Projects Containing Many Classes. The history is also just added bloat to your files (lvclass and any built files that use the lvclass) for something most of us do not need and sometimes causes build errors.
My proposal is to add an option to the class properties to keep the mutation history. It can be enabled by default to keep the current behavior. But allowing me to uncheck this option and then never have to worry about clearing the history again would be well worth it.
