Nodes placed via double click not auto-connected (MUI)

Feedback & Ideas

Hi,

compared to the Classic UI the modern UI does not auto-connect the nodes ports when a node is selected and then your double click in the node repository which unnecessarily degrades execution efficiency.

Hi @mwiegand,

The add and connect via double click functionality is a bit different than in classic. We search for an unconnected port and connect to it. If all are connected we just add the node next to the selected node.

In the case of a node with only one output port, even if it is already connected, maybe this could be different.

So if I got you right, the connection is only auto-established if the originating node:

  1. has a matching port type
  2. that port is not connected yet

For a functional perspective Iā€™d expect the same functionality regardless if the port is already connected also satisfying the consistency criteria (unless there is aa reason to break the rule=. Maybe you want to place multiple GroupBy for different purposes.
