Changing the Property Node label does not update the Terminal/Control label?

What is "similar"?

You can edit the label of primitives, e.g. you can change the label of the add function to "multiply", but you cannot change the label of other functions, e.g. show the label of "Simple Error Handler" or "FFT" and it won't let you change it.

Things are not as consistent as one might think. 😉

By similar I was referring to the behavior of non-linked property nodes and invoke nodes, as well as the primitive functions in LabVIEW like add or bundle. As you pointed out, there are a number of functions that do not let you change the name (such as Simple Error Handler) but I would guess this is because they are being run as subVIs instead of primitives, and it is not possible to change the labels on subVIs (if you show labels on those functions such as FFT and Simple Error Handler they seem to be all .vi). It seems consistent but that is just my opinion!
