Expand the Source value of events to include Value (Signaling)

Add a new Value (Signaling) value to the source output of events to distinguish between manual user actions (LabVIEW UI) and Value (Signaling) property node writes.  I realize the property node is part of the LabVIEW UI, so front panel edits and Value (signaling) write both produce a souce value of 0 (LabVIEW UI), but there still should be a way to distinguish between the two.  I often find myself wanting or needing to handle the value change differently based on whether or not vlaue is input manually or whether it originated from a Value (Signaling) write, as when a program is running in manual, or "auto" mode.

It would not hurt of course...so why not. To me the whole point of the value (signaling) feature though is to be able to run the same code as when a manual change has happened. If I need a different code then I use a user event.
