one string indicator with multiple string controls changing display

Is it possible to have 1 string indicator that changes what it displays at different times corresponding to different parts of the program instead of having multiple indicators.  I have 4 different displays and I want them to change according to what part of the program it is in that way the block diagram is simplified.  Is is possible to do this with string indicators and controls or is there another option.  I do not want to use a prompt because I do not want the user to need to acknowledge it in order for the program to continue.

I think the answer you’re looking for is a property node.  Right click on the indicator and select Create, Property  Node, Value.  Place this where you want the text value to change and wire some text to it.
