It seems like maybe the new rule builder interface is not live across all workspaces yet, but please please please make it possible to either:
a) see our check-if conditions again without clicking into every single branch or
b) make a toggle that lets us expand all/collapse all conditions
The current UI forces you to hover or click into each condition to track down the right branch. The old UI allowed you to very quickly spot the right branch based on the conditions. Clicking through every branch to find which one you’re looking for is going to be so tedious for those of us who maintain a high volume of complex rules in their workspace.
I understand it may not be that way for everyone, but if there is a way to have an option similar to to the “expand all/collapse all” option in projects I’d still be happy!
I see there is a new rule, nay, automation builder view now
Is there a way to have the conditions expanded by default without having to hover or click them?
Example:
I have a rule with a few conditions. In the old view, I can quickly see the conditions and easily determine which portion I need to work/update/eliminate :
I cannot see my conditions at a glance, so in a way it is not optimizing my time but rather slowing me down. I have seven different conditions, so seeing them all at once was really the move!
Oh man, I haven’t tested this yet, but I agree that it’s a huge issue. It hides the overall workflow, and clicking around wastes so much time. They’ll definitely have to do something about that.
When setting multiple conditions for a rule, a left-to-right layout is easier to read than a top-to-bottom layout, so I think the change is a good one.
I think the expected new flow is for the user to write the name of the path, while it’s not the end of the world, it does feel like an additional unnecessary step to name the flow and to have to open it to see the conditions. But we will adapt, I guess!
I also think the top to bottom view makes it easier to scroll when you have a long rule.
Thank you to whoever merged my post! I could not find a thread on the new rule builder.
I hadn’t noticed the Path Name option, thanks for flagging this! But if I have to take the time to name all my paths based on their conditions (presumably with character limits) I’d rather just see what all the conditions are Glad I’m not alone here!
Any updates. To be honest I liked the older version, so would be great if we can get that back as well. so that we can choose between horizontal and vertical.
YES YES YES — the “Check if” is often the MOST IMPORTANT details I need to see when combing through the rules!
And, really, I preferred the rule interface prior to this new one. Y’all nailed it when you added the ability to duplicate/rearrange branches and actions. I loved it so much, and then it changed… still trying to see the benefits of the new interface and am honestly struggling.
