I have two labview projects on seperate computers sharing variables. So far everything had worked great.
However, I've recently been having problems creating new shared variables in the NI Distributed System Manager. I go to create a new shared variable on the localhost, and trying to use a custom control type. However, whenever I choose the custom control type (attached for reference) the distributed system manager crashes and gives the error
labview error #1097 call library function node in systman_editvariable.vi->sysman_editvariable.vi.ProxyCaller
So far I have tried:
In all cases, the same error occurs. I have other custom ctl shared variables that occasionally gave errors but I eventually got them all working by trying mulitple times. This seems to be a Labview bug? Any suggestions?
Lavbview 8.6.1 on both computers with the shared variable patch (link). This problem occured both with and without the patch.

Worked around this problem by creating the shared variable from within the labview project explorer, rather than the distributed system manager.
I'm still wondering why the variables can't first be created in the distributed system manager though.
