tst, you are the man. Really. (Good grief, and you introduced that like 4 months ago! This "idea of mine" is not a copy, but it's obviously not original) I want to see this feature adopted into the LV base package.
(I have not yet even tried JKIRCF, but the reasons to do so are continually more compelling.)
I KNEW IT! Someone would say it. It took longer than I expected (7 hours into the workday Central Time), but Broken Arrow is dissing the locals. What a ham.
ADMITTEDLY... I almost left locals out of the idea, but left them in just for "completeness" of the idea. I don't think I would ever bulk-create locals, and if I do, only once for every 100 times I would bulk create a ref or PN.
SO.... I really want this idea to get implemented, but it would not hurt my feelings 0.125bytes if Locals don't make it into the bulk-create feature.

I wrote a Quick Drop Keyboard Shortcut for this recently. Allows you to bulk create references, locals, property nodes, invoke nodes, constants, controls, or indicators...basically anything in the right-click > Create menu. You can get it here.

P.S. - It's equally handy for just creating a single instance of the desired object. I find I can type Ctrl-Space > ref > Ctrl-A faster than right-click > Create > Reference.
