Finding deprecated property nodes

[Yamaeda]

I'm looking at some old code and it has deprecated VI's and properties. It's easy enough to find the deprecated VI's with a small VI (actually just Find works for this, but i made a VI that also opens them for ease of access). But how to find those pesky property nodes? I've managed to get the property nodes refs, their name and their caption, but how to get the description?

What is your goal? To replace them? Document them? Why do you need the description of deprecated nodes?

Or do you need to test for upgradeability?: https://www.ni.com/en/support/documentation/supplemental/10/labview-vi-analyzer-upgrade-tests.html

Replacing when upgrading code, yes. I just need some way to find them, searching through the Description says it's deprecated, but if there's some other way (as the analyzer) i'm all ears. 🙂
