TestStand: Creating a new NamedType under current seq types file

I have a requirement
1. Create a container/namedTyped in TS out of any given LabVIEW cluster [which is going to be typedef - .ctl file]. This is going to be similar to what we manually do by clicking 'Create/Update Custom Data Type' option near to any cluster shown in parameter view/list Create Custom Data.png.But this has to be done programatically. Option to create and update namedtype both are required.

 

2. Created namedType has to be saved in current sequence's types file
New NamedType.png

 

3. Create a copy of namedTyped under Locals of given sequence file/sequence

 

Finally created Locals.container/namedType can be directly linked to input of SubVI (which the LabVIEW Cluster out of which namedType is created) which is configured through NI-Action steps.

Link container to cluster.png

 

I believe if I directly create a Local.container (not typedefinition), cluster passing ability is not available, so I need to create a Type definition container and use that.

 

Can someone help me with this?
