Cases in case structure keep changing

When I place a case structure, click inside the selector, enter e. g.

0, 1, 2

they don't stay that way but instead turn to

"0", "1", "2"

.

 

Am I correct that the cases are now of type string instead of int? How can I have cases without the ' " '?

Yes, if you have wired a string to the case selector, it will display as quote-enclosed strings. The items displayed in the case structure adapt to the type of data wired to the case selector:

An enum will always display as the string value of the enum - if you want to display it as just a number, type-cast it to an appropriate data type (e.g. U8)
