Available in LabVIEW 2020 and later. You can hide an unused event data node within a notify event frame by right-clicking the event structure and unchecking 'Visible Items > Event Data Node for This Case'.
If you are not using the Data Event Terminals in an Event Structure, you might customarily hide them - roll them up so that only one terminal is showing. I would like to hide that remaining terminal. The idea is to not grey-out the Remove Element option when you are down to one terminal. That way, you can remove it. A stub remains to right-click on in order to bring the terminal(s) back if required.
the stub can be filled with the color of the datatype when it is hidden, example blue for numeric, green for bool etc.
I think Broken Arrow is referring to unused, unwired event data terminals, so datatype has no context for an unused stub. I would be against any Idea that allows the names to be hidden yet still wired, but I don't think this is BA's intention.
I'd go with the suggestion to simply show/hide the event terminals. Do we need to treat the left side and right side terminals (e.g. in filtering events) separately? Maybe the right side terminals must always show if available.

Yes.
Also, since the right side terminals can be unwired, we should probably allow hiding them (although a filter event where you don't use the right terminals is basically identical to the notify event).
