A customer called in to NI technical support with the following idea pertaining to custom error codes and the Error Code Editor.
Is it possible to have Error Code Editor remain open during normal LabVIEW coding. This way customer's can add custom codes as they code their projects. The Error Code Editor found by going to tools->Advanced->Edit Error Codes... currently will not allow user to continue using LabVIEW until they have selected the close option as of LabVIEW 2019 sp1. This related to the fact that user must restart LabVIEW after editing custom error codes for them to correcty appear in a new error ring dropped on the block diagram.
If a error ring was already created, then the error code file (in XML format) has already been parsed. Thus no new ones will appear for use. If there was a way to more actively add and then use custom error codes, customers could make use of more error handling features.
