control-drag object (SQL statement) allow last select hold

I'm making an SQL statement using the SQL library, but I'm sure this is a LabVIEW and not an SQLite idea.

 

I have this when I drag down on the "bind parameters".

Each time the drag downwards it goes to a different "bind". 

 

I want to connect a big stack of integers.

 

I wish that I could control-drag and get whatever the last one was to stay the same.

>>Or the answer is to convince you that you don't have a problem and just use the software as intended.

 

Unlikely.   I could write a long list of cases where NI has used a "pull-down" structure to provide a convenient syntax (Array primitives, Cluster by Name, Event Registrations, etc.).  Property Nodes are just the only customisable option available to an external API developer.

Darn. Had to try. 🙂

 

But even being the only one available doesn't mean it is right to abuse it.

It's the lesser of two evils.  It's not right to force external APIs to be clunky.  I'm working around the limitations of the tools NI provided by using them in creative ways.
