Allow string input to request for pull component/requests #227

Open rwemay opened 4 years ago

rwemay commented 4 years ago

Description:

Dum dum duuuuum.... shoot me down instantly @alelom , but is it crazy to allow just a string input with the functionality of the FilterRequest(type, tag) with a input string? That way when you get used to knowing what objects you want you can just type in the name direct.

Close issue if mad!

That's something for Reflection_Engine, but sure, we can do it! However, can't really see much improvement over what we have already: image

alelom commented 4 years ago

What you're saying is instead you would like to allow this? image

rwemay commented 4 years ago

Yep - the latter. Apologies did not realise you could plug type directly in without tag! #keepuprob!

It looks like something we should enable in any case given the warning above - better to cast to type than return custom, no?

I would like this. A. B. & C. work below - would be so handy if D. also worked. 😄 image
