Outputs terminals on diagram disable structure should not default to "Use Default if Unwired"

Status: New

Currently if you draw a diagram disable structure around a section of code any wire coming out of it will be set to "Use Default if Unwired". This is almost never the desired behavior, and can easily lead to bugs if people forget to connect wires through on the Enabled case. The VI should be broken until the developer makes any necessary changes in the Enabled case. Diagram Disable Idea.png

New doesn't cover the context, but none of the alternatives do:

Adding an 'old' status doesn't really do it for me 👵.

 

I started NEW status in the idea exchange - NI Community to continue that topic.

well... anything that has collected less than 100 votes in 10 years is silently being declined by NI, no?

I though at least one vote per year? So in 100 years it will be declined if there are only 99 kudos?

 

I could be wrong, it doesn't happen that often and these rules aren't exactly clear.

If you like this idea, please go vote on the old one. Hopefully we can push it over the edge.

This does seem like it would be a pretty trivial fix for NI, given that case structures already behave this way.

@lowestpass nah... they're too busy updating the LabVIEW icon
