It would be easier to convert a webscreen to a webblock (and vica verca) by right click, instead of cut it and past it as a block. Just like it's possible to convert a parameter to input parameter by right click.

Totally with this one. Especially when to want to make a modular mobile applications you work a lot with webblocks. We are now in the process converting screens to webblocks. Features I'd like to see would be:

  • Convert screen to webblock
  • Convert call to another screen to an event (with the corresponding parameters)
  • Implement the OnParametersChanged event,  refresh all the data

Merged this idea with 'Convert Web Screen to Web Block (and WB to Screen)' (created on 29 Nov 2018 18:38:48 by Rafael Fantato)

Many times we need to transform a popup or screen to webblock to change our main page/navigation and we don't have an automatic convert beetween them.

It would be great to have this option to transform a page do webblock.

Today we need to copy/paste all input parameters, variables, actions, preparation to a new web block and them another copy/paste with the content.

You can convert a webscreen to a webblock by selecting the screen, doing a "Cut" or "Copy". Then right clicking on the Flow, selecting paste as then picking webblock on the popup screen.

Hi Raymond,

You are right. Indeed that would make this functionality a lot more visible. I'll add this to our radar so we can follow this idea and address it in the future (maybe when addressing the refactoring of parts of a screen to a block).

Cheers,
Tiago Simões

Right-click on a block and have the option "Convert to Page". This would create a page using the default layout defined for the application and automatically, if that layout has the "MainContent" placeholder, insert the content of the block inside.
