Enhancement: navigating between inner components

Description:

The navigation between components is very inconvenient when working with a high number of inner components. It’s not uncommon for us to go between 5 and 10 levels deep, especially for our data apps.

As such, I often need to troubleshoot an issue inside an inner component, go back to higher components and run those to see if the problem was solved. In the new UI, I always need to re-open all the components since they are sequentially linked. That is extremely annoying to develop workflows.

In this example, I’m at level 8 but can only see levels 1 through 5 and a part of 6.

If I want to go to level 7, I first need to go to 6 and then open it again. If I want to run the entire workflow and again need to work on level 8, I’m forced to open them all again.

Moreover, whenever the number of nested levels goes up, some of the UI element disappear or are blocking the view. The mode selection and zoom level has disappeared. Only whenever I move back to level 5, it appears again.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open a workflow
  2. Open a component with a high number of inner components
  3. Try to easily navigate between the different components

Actual results:
Having to open all components again when working from the highest to the lowest level.

Expected results:
Have independant tabsheets again to quickly switch between components.

Hello @ArjenEX,

Thank you for your feedback!

I have opened 2 tickets: NXT-2244 for improved navigation within a component, and NXT-2245 for optimised breadcrumb in nested components.

Best,
Keerthan
