References: Appearance different in Development System and in Run Time System

[J-M]

I noticed a difference the references appearance in Development System and in Run Time System.  It seems to have no effect in the executable version but, per curiosity, someone have an explanation?

When LabVIEW builds an executable, it removes the parts which are not needed from the VIs (like BDs, or FPs of VIs which will not be opened). I'm assuming this is an extension of that where the icon is not copied over. Another option is that the RTE is simply missing the code necessary to display this specific this.

In any case, I would say it's a bug, albeit a minor one.

I don't think this is a bug, the references refere to a given CTL file, which is not present in the RTE, I think LabVIEW disconnects the reference form the typedef and only saves the properties needed.
