dot before name with "unbundle by name" (cluster)

[yanl14]

When I connect the "unbundle by name", each name in the elements have a dot before the name. All work correctly but I wonder what are these dots.

Hi yanl14,

maybe you use these dots in the cluster constant. Do you use the "hide full names" feature?

I use a cluster in type def. with no dot. I unbundle it to load some values I these dots appear. 

[yanl14]

and in the same vi, I have unbundle with no dot.

(I don't use hide full names function.)

I suspect that the containing cluster does not have a name so the full name becomes ".something". If you select "hide full names" I suspect the leading dot will go away.

Hi yanl,

Would you mind posting the offending VI (specifically, the minimum required to recreate the issue)?

Ben (as usual) is on to what I think is the correct answer.  Your TypeDef contains an array of clusters of a cluster.  I am not sure why you use two clusters, but apparently you are seeing an artifact of the second cluster label.  With no label, however, I get 00.Name instead of .Name.  At any rate, 'Hide Full Names' should remove it if that is all you care about.

[yanl14]

You're right. My cluster in the cluster had no name, it is why I had dot before my names.

Thanks.
