It would be pretty great if we could select two actions in a flow, and then right-click and select "swap", the two actions would change position with each other. It would be more convenient than having to disconnect one of the actions and re-add it to the flow either before or after the second action.

Hi Hanno,

Do you do this a lot?

I'm not seeing a lot of people adopting this accelerator and having this use case very often.

Cheers

Hi Vasco

At the time the idea came up I believe we were working on some flows where this feature would have assisted quite a bit.

However, I cannot recall any instances in the past couple of months where I wished for this.

I think it is more a nice-to-have than an accelerator. Also, in hindsight, there are scenarios where this would not necessarily work well, i.e. when an assign follows an action and that assign uses the output of the action.

Yap, that's something I was thinking about!

Thanks for your idea anyway, keep them coming ;)

Something that wouldn't be commonly used and wouldn't work in several scenarios

Merged this idea with 'Switch nodes on action flow' (created on 31 Aug 2020 17:11:38 by Luís Xavier)

The way I see it happen, by selecting two nodes on an action flow, would be given the option to "Switch nodes position".

@Luís Xavier I merged your idea with Hanno´s because they are similar. 

I'll check again with the OS team if they want to keep the "not right now" status...

Cheers!
