Radio buttons all connected to property nodes

I don't understand why I should keep the container visible. I really don't want that. I have a full screen of controls with no room for this so I put it on top of everything when and if I need to edit one of my scripts.

Ah, OK. Your choice.

Typically we advise against overlapping front panel elements because it severely hurts redraw performance and is taxing the UI thread. Maybe you can do a dialog style popup subVI instead?

And I still think all you need is a single string control and keep the various version e.g. in a string array. You can dynamically fill the control with the correct content, no property nodes needed!

These strings are actually rather long TSP scripts for controlling test equipment. I wonder if I should just load them in from a file instead. Then I wouldn't need to hide them.

Since you had them as controls, I assumed that the operator is supposed to edit them at any time. If they are preformed and irrelevant to the user, they should only live on the diagram.

And as I already said, you really only need one string indicator to show the selected script if needed.
