Yes, very nice if this could be done !

Indeed a very nice one, and how about a different assignment lay-out.
Currently per assignment two lines on screen are used instead of only one

Looking at all other programming languages i know it's possible to do an assignment of a variable in one single row:

[VARIABLE] = [VALUE]

What's up with the Variable 1, Value 1 structure?
To be honest I can't  remember or imagine a situation in which I'd like to know the number of assignments that are made.
Also referring to an assignment is usually done by referring to the variable instead of referring to the assignment number / variable number.

This structure makes it very hard to do mappings to e.g. a structure.
I think there is a lot of improvement on the GUI side possible in that part.

This currently is a pretty common way for me to do mappings to an export structure; moving to a single-line assignment i'd be able to view twice the amount of mappings I can view now:


It would also be very good to be able to show one structure on the left hand and 'dragging' lines to map to the other hand.
Ofcourse mapping from multiple different sources would be a bit harder to do, however it's pretty common to map to a single output structure.

I hope this brings up some other ideas of improvement for that part.
It will speed up things a lot for me and I think for your overall GUI.

Note that the need to change the order of the variables (for my part) is mainly  when I add an attribute to an entity somewhere in the middle of the attribute list.

e.g.:

Client

• Id
• Name
• Address
• Telephone
• VatNumber
• E-mailAddress

Client

• Id
• Name
• Address
• Zip Code
• Telephone
• Fax
• VatNumber
• E-mailAddress

When I already have 1 on 1 assignments with each attibute of the client entity i'd like to have the assignments 'sorted' in the order of listing in the Entity.

Yes, would be very cool.

instead of variable1,value1, one could see if it's a single assignment or a object-assignment, and when you click you will see a popup like this:

Thanks all for the great feedback on this issue. Although this was not part of the backlog for the next release, due to all your requests we decided to include it in the Agile Platform 5.1. Here is a mockup of what we are intending to provide in first cut:

Great work!

Hoping the "Variable1" and "Value1" text is dropped soon too.
I'm using Outsystems for a few months now and haven't found any supporting addition for this text.
It occupies 2 rows to do a single variable assignment instead of a single row.

Thanks for the feedback!

I am very pleased that this will be in the 5.1 release. Thanks for all the support on this issue. I was not the only one who thought this was a good enhancement.

Although I agree with Eric that it would be nice to bring a variable assignment to one row.

Something like this:











When this could be implemented too, it would be even more perfect.

This is one of the many small productivity and usability improvements in 5.1! Read more about 5.1 in this forum thread.

And, of course, thanks for you feedback!

Hi Guys..

Where is this feature? The last link doesn't open either..

Thanks
