Displaying Control / Indicators "Class ID" property node as Ring rather than a numeric type

Status: Declined

Any idea that has received less than 7 kudos within 7 years after posting will be automatically declined.

Class ID for a control / indicator is displayed as I32 Numeric Type (up to LV 2011 release). Inputting "Class ID" property node to a Case Structure, doesn't provide readability. For better readability, we need to use "Class Name" property node (which is a String) and user needs to take care of entering case selector String values

 

It would be more readable if "Class ID" property node is displayed as "Ring" type (which provides readability and lesser user dependency on entering Case selector values)

Class ID is an open-ended set, so a ring would not necessarily cover all the possible values. For any given application where you're working with a subset of IDs, you may want to create a ring for your own work.
