Show "Conflicts" if a VI cannot separate compiled code from source File

Status: Declined
The "Separate compiled code from source file" option can now be set on all VIs in LabVIEW 2012 and later, so there are no longer any "conflicts" to speak of.

The "Separate compiled code from source file" option is super nice for use with revision control software. However, sometimes the option to do so is not available:

This is usually because you have an express VI included somewhere in that VI's hierarchy. It would be nice to offer a means of displaying what those "conflicts" are--maybe a button to display a separate dialog, or to launch the search function with results of all the included Express VIs or any other potential conflicts. LabVIEW must know what those conflicts are--that's how it knows when to gray out the above option! So, how about a more detailed response as to why it has done so!

Thank you for your feedback.  I agree it is very useful to have this information.
