Step Options and Branching Enhancements in Ushur Studio

Disable Branch Options When Using Navigate Modules

Automatically disable "Add Branch" and "Modify Branch" options when Branch or Menu modules are used, ensuring branch integrity.

Description
This feature enhances workflow integrity by preventing conflicting connections when using Navigate modules. When a Branch or Menu module is used in the originating step, the "Add Branch" and "Modify Branch" options are disabled in the "Step options" menu, ensuring that branching remains consistent and reducing the risk of unintended changes.

Benefits:

• Improved Workflow Integrity: Prevents accidental modifications that could disrupt existing branch connections.

• Simplified User Experience: Disabling options that aren’t applicable helps guide citizen developers, reducing confusion and streamlining the workflow design process.

• Enhanced Control: Ensures branching actions align with intended design by limiting branching options in specific scenarios.

Branching Enhancements for 'On Error' and 'On Reminder' Scenarios

Allows citizen developers to modify workflow paths for specific 'On error, branch to' and 'On reminder' cases with streamlined branching options.

Description
This update improves workflow flexibility by enabling citizen developers to tailor branching paths for 'On error' and 'On reminder' scenarios:

• Targeted Branch Control: Provides focused options to modify or delete branches specifically for error and reminder handling, ensuring that workflows can respond appropriately to these conditions.

• Simplified Menu: Only "Modify branch" and "Delete Branch" options are shown when working with these scenarios, reducing clutter and helping developers concentrate on relevant adjustments.

• Enhanced Workflow Reliability: By refining error and reminder branches, workflows become more robust and capable of handling exceptions effectively, enhancing the overall user experience.

Enhanced Branch Connector Modification

Improves branch connector editing, allowing citizen developers to modify existing connections with intuitive visual cues and expanded options.

Description
This feature enhances branch management by providing clear visual indicators and additional options for editing branch connectors:

• Intuitive Visual Cues: Hovering over a branch connector now changes it to blue with an "Edit" tooltip, making it easier to identify and modify connectors.

• Expanded Menu Options: The "Branch options" menu offers additional controls, including "Insert Step," "Modify branch," and "Delete Branch" option, giving developers more flexibility in workflow adjustments.

• Clear Connection Updates: Modifying a branch now displays a dotted line until confirmed, updating to a solid green connector upon final selection, ensuring clarity in branch connections.

Enhanced Branch Addition for Disconnected Steps

Simplifies adding branches to disconnected steps, providing a streamlined menu with clear options for step management.

Description
This update improves workflow creation by offering an intuitive way to add branches to steps not yet connected to others:

• Updated Step Options Menu: Displays "Step options" with options to "Add Branch" and a clearly labeled "Delete Step" in red, making actions more accessible.

• Seamless Branch Creation: The "Branch to" dropdown displays all existing steps and an option to create a new step, allowing developers to connect to existing steps or quickly add new ones.

• Error Prevention: Validates new step names to prevent duplicates, ensuring workflow integrity by displaying an error if the name already exists.

• Enhanced Visual Feedback: Connectors update to green upon confirming branch connections, providing a clear visual indicator of successful branch addition.

Copy and Paste Modules in Ushur Studio

Description
This feature allows citizen developers to copy modules and paste them within the same step or another step in the same workflow, streamlining workflow creation by reducing redundancy. Key benefits include:

• Quick Module Duplication: The "Copy module" icon enables fast duplication, preserving all components such as data validations, display conditions, and save-to-tag information.

• Toast Notifications: Provides immediate feedback on copy and paste actions, with messages indicating successful copying and pasting of modules, and alerts if branching options aren’t included for navigational modules.

• Branching Exceptions for Navigational Modules: Copying of navigational modules like 'Menu' and 'Branch' excludes branch options ('On error' and 'On reminder' branches) to maintain workflow integrity. Clear notifications help users understand what is retained.

• Inspector Paste Options: The Inspector displays a "Paste module" option when a module is available in memory. Modules are pasted at the last position or before any Navigate modules, ensuring logical flow placement. The pasted module will be highlighted to easily identify it as a recently pasted module.

• Workflow-Specific Pasting: Pasting is restricted to the same workflow; cross-workflow copying and pasting is not supported, and copied modules are cleared from memory upon logout for security and consistency.

Move Modules Between Steps in Ushur Studio Canvas

Added functionality to move modules between steps in the workflow canvas, allowing citizen developers to organize workflows efficiently without copying branching options.
