Hi! I recently started working at NI and I'm interested in what dialog/error messages LabVIEW throws that the users find confusing/ambiguous/useless.
A good example is a case where LabVIEW (not a user-built VI) opens a dialog box with "Press OK to [perform some action] or Cancel to [perform some other action]" with an OK/Cancel button. The point here is that OK and Cancel buttons themselves don't describe what is actually going to happen, and that makes them sort of useless. I would like to find examples of these in LabVIEW.
Feel free to reply back, preferably with a VI or project I can load and reproduce the ambiguous dialog or error.
Some more background: I just started working at NI and with LabVIEW just shy of a month ago. As such, I'm slowly learning more and more about LabVIEW, but I don't have the insight that many of you, the end users, have. Hence, here I am! I'm hoping I can learn a lot from the LabVIEW "veterans" here.

I''m going to add this one that I had posted to the Idea Exchange
Better error descriptions for Application Builder
I don't know if that particular idea really applicable to the questions you are asking here. The dialog itself isn't necessarily ambiguous. But the data it is showing doesn't give a clear idea on where to go look for the problem.
