Issue Details

I am using a TestStand LabVIEW action step that I am passing a data cluster into. The parameter name is listed as "Test Data" and contains a boolean, numeric and three strings. However, I'm unable to interact with this parameter cluster named "Test Data" and it is greyed out entirely. How can I interact with this?

Solution

The "Test Data" cluster is a reserved cluster to maintain backwards compatability with the older versions of TestStand that use that cluster as the fixed type for calling LabVIEW steps. As such, any clusters named "Test Data" with those types are automatically mapped to the locations described in the older versions of TestStand. 

If you wish to customise the interaction with this cluster, change the name or the contents of this cluster.
