Polymorphic VI Needs Find All Instances

Status: New

Add "Find All Instances" for polymorphic VIs. Right-clicking a normal VI's icon in the upper-right displays a pop-up menu with quick access to a "Find All Instances" item which helps greatly when navigating code to find all callers, then their callers, etc. However, when a caller happens to be polymorphic "Find All Instances" is not available and the work-flow is broken. Ctrl+F or Edit, Find can be used but the Find dialog must be manually configured: "Search for" Objects may have to be selected if Text was last used; "Select Object" must be set from a looong list of VIs. By that time, concentration is lost.
