Cut Conditions

[lotora]

To be able to 'cut' conditions. Today there are only 3 options: Copy, Paste above, Paste below.

[lotora]

Implemented in the next version?

We are able to copy, but NOT to cut. When is it planned to be implemented?

[MemphisFlash]

isn't cut same as delete?

[lotora]

Thank you for your input!

Indeed, 'cut' and 'delete' are designed for distinct functions. The 'cut' feature enables the movement of conditions to another location, offering the versatility to paste them wherever needed. On the other hand, 'delete' irrevocably eliminates the conditions, foreclosing the possibility of placing them anew. Consequently, the absence of a 'cut' feature detracts from the ease of effectively repositioning conditions.

I dont really understand what you're trying to do here. but if you're hoping to preserve the ability to place anew. then you could copy the old automation before deleting, and therefore put it into a library for possible reuse at a later date

Exactly, that's what I'm currently doing. My aim is simply to streamline the process to make it more user-friendly and efficient when editing a rule.

you can copy any part of a rules file, then paste above or below in a totally new file.
i have done it hundreds of times before.

Thanks for the wealth of suggestions, everyone. The creativity here is so abundant, it's almost comical—we're engineering elaborate solutions reminiscent of a Rube Goldberg machine, all while I'm just pining for the simple elegance of a 'cut-paste' function.

It's like we're in a Monty Python sketch where the quest for a holy grail turns out to be a pair of scissors. Keep the ideas flowing, though; they could be our coconuts clopping!
