Minor issue when adding actions to a task

Post by dlmorgan999 »

Hi Scott,



I found a minor issue when adding actions to an existing task. This happens for me every time. Here are the steps:



- click on an existing task

- click on the "Add Item..." button

- choose Add Action

- add any action

- click OK



When I do this I get an "Else" line followed by the chosen action. The only way I've found to make this work correctly is to click on one of the existing action lines first before clicking "Add Item...". I've also found that even when you are first adding a task if you move focus somewhere else and then click "Add Item..." again the same problem occurs.

Dave,



That's actually the way it's supposed to work. The idea is that you click on the task 'block' (section) that you want to add a condition or action to before hitting the button. If nothing is selected, it adds it to the end.



I think functionally, it's the best way to select where you want to add the item. I think it probably needs a better UI for the user when nothing is selected.

Always click the last task in the list before you hit the add button. That way you will avoid the 'Else' condition
