Deprecated Abstract Messages #43
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
LabVIEW 2020 introduced interfaces which was a huge boon for Actor Framework. In most cases, interfaces provide a better/easier way to decouple Msgs from actors than did their predecessors, abstract messages. The UX should point users away from abstract messages and to interfaces.
Describe the solution you'd like
Abstract functionality should NOT be removed, but Project Provider tools around making their messages should be moved out of the top-level of AF menu items. Perhaps move their scripting menu item into a "Deprecated" sub-folder in the menus.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Perhaps, when the user chooses to create an abstract message, a dialog appears that asks the user if they really want to do that vs using interfaces. It could be like the message rescripting dialog where users can choose to skip the dialog in the future.
Additional context
Move these into a nested menu.
