A feature to comment out the activity or any component inside a microflow would be really useful. It would be similar to commenting out any block of code or logic in a code editor like eclipse.
Currently: I need to create copies of microflow for every test change in logic I need to make in a microflow. But this is time consuming. Hence commenting out or temporarily disabling a component inside a microflow would be really great.
What a great idea!! I found myself wanting to do that today as well, especially when I was trying out different microflow options and possibilities to craft a solution.
The only way to do this at the moment in Mendix, I believe, is as follows (my way of doing it):
I think most people already know this, but I thought I share it anyway. Hope Mendix dev. team comes with the functionality to comment out microflows inside the editor as it saves a lot of time and effort.
Cheers!
Requested the same functionality a while ago; as it’s indeed similar to commenting out blocks of code, should be doable, right? Error checking could be left in tact (if you comment out the creation of a variable that’s used after the commented out section, you would also get an error in code).
I usually need this when I’m either still working on a flow but need to test some other part of the code first or I need a copy of a change object to quickly check behavior instead of duplicating an entire microflow to keep the original.
