Link case structure to run-time menu

Status: Declined

I was thinking, with strict type def controls you can right click a case structure and select "add case for every value." Makes it very easy to keep a case structure up-to-date with your control. Why not have something similar (maybe there already is...) for the runtime menu. This way if you have a case structure inside an event structure(below), you can modify your run time menu but always link it back up without having to manually add cases.

Menus can be dynamic with items added and removed at will.

 

It's not possible to strictly link the contents of a menu.

Intaris is right... the menu data is just an arbitrary string. It can be anything, and there isn't a statically linked source menu.
