Comments or description for flows

Post by kintrupf » 26 Nov 2013 07:40

I would like to have a small description or comment for a flow that is displayed in the list of flows instead of the first triggers, actions or conditions.
The display of the triggers and actions in the flow list is not very clear, and it would be very beneficial if one could describe what the flow intends to do.
Often the intention can be inferred from the name of a flow, but with many flows there are probably a lot of similar names.

A small one- or two-line comment would also make the height of a flow in the list smaller, so that more flows can be seen on the screen.
If no description is given you could still display the triggers, actions and conditions like before.

Currently you can comment on your flows by putting an empty action placeholder and writing your comment on the name field, but I would too like a dedicated comment field.

Maybe if you make a new action, 'comment' and have it include only a text box and have its box colored defferent? Different colored line to that box would also make it easy to follow the comment's origin.

comment-fields are very nice. a must have in near future.

but comment fields (plain text) "IN" the flows are important to keep track of changes.

I'm also missing the usual NOTE element. Everybody needs at least minimalistic comments.
