EV3-G custom block crashes when Switch statement is copied

Question

My team and I are trying to convert our coding framework made of myblocks into actual blocks. I made an application, that generates a "shell" of the block (the modes, and parameters). After this, we would copy our myblock's content to the VIX Editor. This works fine, except when it comes to switches. In that case, it crashes instantly. So instead, we tried using the default VIX switch (from the palette), but those don't support the wires we use to connect our blocks, and gives an error.

It says "There is no valid source wired to this tunnel"

This is my first question here, so I probably didn't provide enough information, please tell me what else should I provide. Thanks!

So I ended up figuring out a solution:

First, I tried manually editing the vix file as a text file, and inserting this code.

Opening this file would crash the software.
However, if you didn't open it, it would work fine on the EV3 brick!
From this, I concluded, that the problem is with the EV3 vix editor.
But identifying the problem wasn't enough, I needed to find a solution.

After looking around the ev3 program files, I noticed that they use the exact same format as a vix file.
Except this single line:
Original:

<VirtualInstrument IsTopLevel="false" IsReentrant="false" Version="1.0.2.0" xmlns="http://www.ni.com/VirtualInstrument.xsd">

Changed:

<VirtualInstrument IsTopLevel="false" IsReentrant="false" Version="1.0.2.0" OverridingModelDefinitionType="X3VIDocument" xmlns="http://www.ni.com/VirtualInstrument.xsd">

Now, you can change this single line in your vix file, and the ev3g software will open it in the default editor. You can drag blocks, and also use the vix elements.
One disadvantage is that for some reason the vix terminals are invisible. But you can still select them, if you know where they are.

If you have any more questions, ask them in a comment, and I will answer.
