I fully agree, which is why I explicitly explained the logic behind this policy and refered to an exception.

The rare times I do that with a VI I put the default in ()'s in the control name, like the "Error In (No Error)" wire. :dunno

Save that (Default) for the Caption and keep the Label short and sweet your Block Diagrams will thank you and the help view will show the Captions if they exist.  (Also programatically settable at run-time just like the default value)

Reminder: You still need to create the caption manually before Jeff's good idea will work.  If the caption has not been created, the property node will return error 1320.

Show the default value of controls in subVIs which aren't required in the tip strip
