Return
Replacing a block diagram constant when configuring a statechart state node or transition node may not delete the original block diagram constant
Replacing a block diagram constant with the "Select a VI..." option in the statechart state node or transition node configuration dialog may not delete original block diagram constant

Workaround: Delete the original block diagram constant manually.

110487

Return
Deleting cluster constant in statechart configuration guard/action diagram can crash LabVIEW
In the Guard or Action diagram of the Configure State dialog box, if you try to delete the contents of a block diagram cluster that is typedef'ed, and then delete the cluster constant itself, LabVIEW might crash.

Workaround: When deleting a cluster constant in the Configure State dialog box, delete the entire constant at once instead of deleting the contents first.

118558

Return
Issue with copying/pasting states/transitions between different statecharts of the same name in different application instances
Copying and pasting a statechart diagram from a statechart state or transition in one application instance to a different statechart of the same name in another application instance generates an error.

Workaround: Ensure the statecharts between which you want to copy and paste states/transitions have different names.

Reported Version: 8.6  Resolved Version: N/A  Added: 08/01/2009
159675

Return
Cannot rename statechart groups
If you try to change the name of a statechart group of triggers, you will not be able to. Similarly, if you create a new group of triggers, you will be unable to change the name from the default name initially assigned.

Workaround: N/A

228612

Return
Making a State (containing a IsIn Node) as a sub-diagram results in a broken statechart under certain conditions.
Sometimes, making a State (containing a IsIn Node) as a sub-diagram results in a broken statechart.

Workaround: Delete all IsIn Nodes in the opaqued state and add them again and relink them appropriately.

Return
Code in Statechart 2010 Transition Node Causes Error 1502 During VxWorks RT exe Build
Building an RT exe for VxWorks that contains LabVIEW code in a Statechart transition node causes error 1502.

197572

Return
The 12th element in the Inputs.ctl Cluster of a Statechart is always disabled
When creating an Inputs.ctl for a statechart, the 12th element cannot be selected when configuring the transition from the Diagram.vi.

Workaround: N/A
