Diagram Constant Representation visualisation

Status: New

Inspired by Altenbach's Boolean constant design, I thought of the following....

 

When we have a SGL or a DBL constant on the block diagram, we have to right click, selece "representation" to find out exactly what type it is.  Why not have some indication as to the actual data type which could conveniently act as a menu for changing the data type.

The same thing goes for U8, I8, U16, I16 and so on.

Right click the constant and select Display Format...

Then switch to the advanced editing mode and use whichever format string you wish.

Thanks. Now I see the limitations. I was hoping that could be a similar approach to this.
