Create Pipeline > edit template doesn't work #66

Issue

After creating a pipeline, there are items in the Pipeline grid which can be clicked.

The Node item (in my example) has two values when clicked:

  • Output words (not clickable)
  • Edit template (clickable but does nothing)

GUI issues

  • Anything that's hidden is, by definition, invisible to users. You have to know it's there to use it.
  • Giving the user a way to do something out of context makes for confusing and over-complicated UX
  • There is a progression from template to node to pipeline, which means editing the template from the pipeline is not a logical progression
  • Editing the template from the Pipelines page doesn't seem useful because you can't see the Graph layout or Send Data details.

Solutions

Why not allow the user to edit the template from the Edit Pipeline page, that way they can see the effect on the graph layout and send data?

Alternatively, just remove the functionality from the grid for the above reasons.
