Parameters

Data type	Name	Required	Description
	Edit Tree Items:Add Item	Yes. Return value.
	Parent Tag	No	Unique tag of the item under which you want to add the new item. The default is an empty string, which adds the item to the highest level in the hierarchy. Avoid wiring string constants to the input of the Parent Tag parameter. Instead, use a tree control property or method that provides the unique tag of the item under which you want to add the new item.
	Child Position	No	Sets where to place the new item in relation to the item whose tag you wire to Parent Tag. Wire a value of 0 (default) to place the new item directly under the parent item. Wire a value of 1 to place the new item under the first child item, a value of 2 to place the new item under the second child item, and so on. Wire a value of -1 to place the new item under the last child item.
	Left Cell String	No	Text to display in the leftmost cell for the new item. The default is an empty string.
	Child Text	No	Array of strings to display in the remaining cells for the new item. The default is an array of empty strings.
	Child Tag	No	Unique tag for the new item. The default is the string you wire to Left Cell String. If an existing tag already uses that string, LabVIEW appends a number to the string to create a unique tag for the new item.
	Child Only?	No	If TRUE, you cannot indent other items under the new item. The default is FALSE.
