Ability to change values in debug session and step back.

3

When debugging Microflows (MF) and Nanoflows (NF), the current Mendix debugger only allows developers to step forward and inspect values. While useful, this can make troubleshooting complex logic slow and repetitive.

It would be a major productivity boost if Mendix added the following debugger enhancements:

  1. Change values during a debugging sessionAllow developers to modify variable, object, and attribute values while paused at a breakpoint. This would enable quick testing of alternative scenarios without restarting the flow or redeploying changes.

  2. Step backward in the debuggerProvide the ability to step back to previous execution points, similar to time-travel debugging. This would help developers better understand how values evolved over time and quickly identify where logic went wrong.
