Reference for array Element returns Value of Active Element..! But, we need a property to set the Index of the Array and get its value

Status: Declined

This is being discussed lots.. There are replies like, each and every element can't be assigned with property of its own and it may require a huge memory..!! But, there is a property called Index Value which when written with Zero, it returns the Value of the Active element ( The Element visible or last edited element).. And this will be very helpful if just the Index Value can be assigned by us and we get the necessary Value we require..

This will be of huge help and save a lot of time when working with Referencing and array whose Data Type is a Variant (Unknown)., Eg: Unknown Cluster..

 

I personally believe that this will be possible.. Because, if Memory and all such matters, there wont be a property like Index Value and get its Value alone. We just need to Extend this.. It will be useful in lots and lots of projects.. :):)

I'm not sure why it was rejected, as it seems like something that would be easy to implement.  However, I also don't understand what the real use case is; can someone explain it more clearly?
