Strange Warning in 'Save for Previous'

Can somebody tell me why I get the the following warning when I try to save this code from 8.6 to 8.2?

The object "Subtract" does not support output configuration in the previous version.

No warnings when saving to 8.5

Never mind, I just figured it out. Apparently as of 8.5 you can use a Properties dialog to set the output of a mathematical function to a different representation than the inputs. That seems to apply especially to Fixed Point representation.

I don't know whether this is very useful for other representations since you still seem to get coercion dots on the inputs if you set the output to a bigger representation than the inputs (e.g. inputs I16, outputs U32). However, it could save you a conversion function if you are going to a smaller representation of the same type, i.e integer of floating point. If your inputs are integer and your outputs floating point you get coercion dots as well.

Is anybody using this functionality?
