I was asking just to see if there was a bug or something that could be improved for the future.

One such thing is to make the errors be on the front page instead of the second page. Other things can be done so that the errors or number of errors are more obvious. The other issue is that the current error routing is too slow and often causes watchdog issues. I believe that is fixed for next year along with a deploy issue that it can sometimes cause.

As for the string dictionary that was demonstrated. That is a great way of preventing inconsistent spelling. I'm not sure if it is necessary or good for all teams, but if you have the skills to make the subVI and update the typedef enum, it is a great solution. The overhead of the subVI should be quite small. Making it a subroutine would shrink that by quite a bit. Making it be inlined will, as pointed out, should make it disappear entirely as the compiler substitutes the code, then propagates constants, then removes unreachable code.
