Set Step types default parameters

I have created a Step Type and I'd like to have the parameter under "Specify Module", "Show VI Front Panel when called" as a default value enable. Is this posible?
Thanks in advance,

Hi Angel,

To get this to work, you will need to create the step type to exclusively use the LabVIEW adapter. You can then set the desired option so instances of this type will adhere to it. To do this:

1. Right click on the step type and select Properties.
2. On the general tab, select the option Designate and Adapter and then click the Specify Module button to the right.
3. Check the option "Show VI front panel when Called".

Now when you insert steps of this type, that option will be enabled by default.

Another option is to create a new LabVIEW code template to be used with this step and set the option to Show Front Panel explictly on the VI itself. This way whenever a user creates a VI from TestStand using this step type, this option will be set
.

Let me know if this helps.
