SMO Editor cannot add an event of any category

[wireddown]

When I use the SMO Editor to add a Public Event, a Public Method, or a Private Event, it results in:

• broken Typedefs -- the new event ref num is not added to the cluster, but just placed on the typedef's panel
• with the incorrect type -- the new data type of the event ref num is always boolean

1. Create a blank Project
2. Use the SMO Editor to add an Instrument SMO
3. Confirm you can run the TestLauncher VI ✅
4. Use the SMO Editor to add a:
   Public Event with a Numeric control
   Public Method with a Numeric control
   Private Event with a String control
5. Observe an error dialog appears ❌
6. In LabVIEW, show the Error List
7. Observe the broken Typedefs ❌

Work around

Unknown. I can drag the new event ref num into the typedef's cluster and resolve the error, but I'm unsure if the SMO Editor stopped its operation early and left other VIs unmodified. I'm worried the SMO is now incoherent or incomplete.

Hi, I have the same problem while adding a Public Event.
adding a private event or a public method works fine.

I am using LabVIEW 2019f2 and JKI SMO Editor 2.0.2.5
