You are suggesting that I instead cluster together the controls I want to save/restore, typedef the cluster, then save/restore the cluster control as in your example, right?
Not exactly. The suggestion was to create a cluster of your needed values and unbundle the values out of it and into your controls in an initialize step. This is not particularly elegant when you have a lot of controls, but has advantages if you use the values for things which are not control values. The reverse is done when saving.
The advantage of the method I showed in my example is that it makes loading values into control very simple. You should just note that was just an example - I think it's not that useful as is. The most important change which is required is to change this into a single VI and add a required input for the action (I thought about "read", "read and create" and "write" and I actually already wrote such a modified version) so that you don't get confused about what the VI does.
