Wow.  That's it.  Thanks.  The NI Week presentation goes into the needed detail and "teaches me to fish." 

I've still got a few projects in older versions (as far back as Labview 2011).  Any advice for versions older than 2015?

I'd like to know how to quickly create a local variable from a property node or vice versa. 

I know it can be done by either right clicking on the terminal and selecting Create/ Local Variable.  It can also be done by creating a local variable from the menus and then assigning it to the correct control.

In practice, if I have a property node of a given control and I want to make a local variable right next to it, the I 1) right click on the property node and select Find/ Terminal, then 2) right click on the terminal and Create/ Local Variable, then 3) Navigate with my Local Variable back to where I started.  I'd like a faster way.

For example, if there's a local variable I want to duplicate, I can just hold down control and left click & drag to get another local (already assigned to the same control).  Is there something similar to make local variables from property nodes and vice versa?
