I notice the predefined fields gets squished and disappears when the dialog is resized. Bug?

Another question: I have a chain with an action (update cached metadata), only valid when device is plugged in. The entire chain is conditional to the connected device name.

When I accidentally run it without reconnecting the device, I get the message about failed validation rather than the condition action.

Is it possible to run the chain conditional first so I get the message reminding myself to reconnect the device?

You need to do 2 things:
  • Turn the action validation off by setting the same condition on the last action and ticking the checkbox "disable action validation if conditions are not met" in the action condition dialog.
  • At the top of the chain, use this custom action. Use the same condition, but change the condition value to empty string.

That works.. Can/should I disable the full-chain condition?

Question: If a chain uses prompt-for-notification, how does it behave if it's a subchain in a chain caller? Will it stop the parent chain?

(maybe I asked this before )

Yes, it should stop the parent chain.
