Add/Remove Input from more Array functions

Status: New
I'd like to be able to right-click array functions like Replace Array Subset, Insert into Array, etc. and select add or remove input just like you can with the Build Array function. It would allow you to remove a wire and input from the beginning or middle of the function without having to rewire all the inputs after the one you want to add/remove.

This is what I came here to suggest, but here I found it already suggested. I ran into a case with Replace Array Subset that was extended to a number of inputs. I had to remove one in the middle and to do that with the current format - move every wire and shrink the function.

 

Being able to remove element or add element (like I did with Unbundle By Name) would save time and effort (and be more consistent - I like consistency).

The one I find most annoying is Index Array. The exact inverse of build array doesn't have the corresponding functionality for if an element is removed.

CLD; LabVIEW since 8.0, Currently have LabVIEW 2015 SP1, 2018SP1 & 2020 installed

There a more popular version of this idea here - http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW-Idea-Exchange/Add-quot-Add-Element-quot-and-quot-Remove-Element-quot...

 

Also, I haven't checked, but now that LV 2015 and later have the option of adding context menu option, it should be possible to do this ourselves. I expect the trickiest part would be finding the correct position of all the terminals and keeping track of all the wires that need to be rewired, but it doesn't sound overly complicated.
