It would be great to always be able to edit dynamic content and function expressions.

Sorry forgot, updated right now

I see now, this is by design with dynamic content tokens because there's nothing to edit. They're simple insertions you can delete and add another. Function Expressions however should be editable when you click on them, those are much more complex.

your-azure-coach commented 3 months ago

I have quite some situations where I need to change dynamic content or maybe I have to wrap it inside a function expression (e.g. string()). In such cases, I always need to go first to the code view, copy paste the dynamic content and use it in a new function expression.

Being able to change dynamic content would be a great UX improvement

You still wouldn't be able to wrap it in a function because dynamic content is seperate(and handled seperate technically) from expressions. You would need to remove the one there and add another one.

@your-azure-coach - As travis mentioned, only function expressions are editable because you can add/remove/update the expression and also add outputs from previous actions within function expressions. In your scenario you will have to add the function expression string() switch to dynamic tab and then pick the output from other tab in the picker.

Outputs are not editable and function expressions are, if you really want use the function expression and then add the dynamic content
