Workflow editor: swimlanes are hard to use #696

Open katrinDY opened 1 year ago

katrinDY commented 1 year ago

Description

If I do need to use them, I do what is shown on screenshot 1.

The main issue I have is that there is no feedback on what is actually inside the swimlane. Take a look at screenshots 2 and 3; what steps are actually in the swimlane? Can we somehow automagically push all steps that reside inside a swimlane into the swimlane? Can we add some colour coding to swimlanes and related steps?

This makes it a bit awkward to add swimlanes after you've already defined the steps.

Additionally, it sometimes, when refactoring, didn't let me take steps from one swimlane into another (it just didn't do it, no errors). I don't have a reproducible step for this; I'll update (probably make a new ticket, sorry) if I figure it out.
