Combining workflow inputs by Metanodes or Components is very useful for me.
So I decided to update my older creations from the “Metanode-QuickForm” world to a more modern “Component-Input Nodes” one.
Everything seems to be OK, except the possibility to order or reorder input fields.
My Component Configuration dialog:
I would like to move the field “Master-SN” to the top, but can not find the way to do so.
It seems that configuration controls are fixed forever in the order they are first placed in the Component.
QuickForm configuration had this handy thing “Weight”:
It was easy to reorder things by changing the Weight parameter.
Weight parameter is missing in Input Node config:
Thank you for your quick response!
The proposed workaround did not work for me.
I copy C_old to C_new and delete all the configuration nodes.
Then when I copy nodes from C_old to C_new they retain the same #-IDs as in C_old.
So order remains the same.
In fact I found a simple workaround which works for me.
1.Do not make new Component copy. OK, maybe for backup.
2.Do not delete anything beforehand.
3.Just Copy-Paste all the configuration nodes in the same Component in desired order.
Then they will get new #-IDs in ascending order.
4.Now delete the old configuration nodes with “wrong” #-IDs.
In KNIME AP 4.3, we’ve added a feature that allows you to change the order of the configuration nodes. Check out the animation on our What’s New page here:
