Hello, I wonder if this is an expected thing or not. Scenario: open a VI, go to the front panel. Place a TAB control into it. Make it a type definition. This is a common scenario, because if later you change pages, then you do not need to remake your Tab constants in your BD. Ok, now place an object into your TAB control. Like a numeric or boolean, etc. Right click, and select "Change to array". This is a no op! No warning, no msg, nothing. If you make an array outside, of course it works, you can pull the array into the Tab control page. Is this expected behaviour? For example, when we deal with a type definition cluster, the deal is simple: you have to open the type definition, and edit elements there. But a TAB control is a different thing. I would expect that we can change between element/array types right in the Tab page... Tested in LV2017 SP1, LV2018.

Typedef TAB control - consistent behaviour?

What is also strange, there is no consistent behavior across different PCs. In my case, it does not work from the beginning. I even do not need to save the CTRL file...
