"Insert Into Map" VI: Adapt to Value Input

Status: New

I often create maps in a for loop, as shown below.  However, the "Insert Into Map" value input doesn't adapt to the value type, leading to extra hurdles in order to create the correct map constant to feed into the for loop/VI.

It'd be cool if I didn't have to do the extra work to create this map constant.  Ideally I'd be able to wire any value type into the "Insert into Map" VI, and then just right-click on the output terminal and select "create constant".

 

(It appears that you can now drag and drop a value type into a map constant which does make it easier, previously I would "build map" node in, get the constant it from it, and then delete it. Either way, it's still extra steps.)

A reasonable request. Should've considered that... it's what we did on the queue primitives long ago.
