It doesn't need to be a new forum category. I can see valid arguments for keeping them in the rule templates category and maybe identify them using a tag or something like that.
For logical reasons you'd be right but for technical reasons I suppose it's better to have a separate forum category.
It's not clear to me if this issue needs to be opened on core first.
I think so.
This would be depending on a new category and then added first here to the constants then a separate handler for these:
Opened the issue on core. https://github.com/openhab/openhab-core/issues/4046
Core has been updated with support for a new transformations category in the marketplace. Bumping here to notify that the UI portion is ready for development.
The problem
I find myself reposting some of the same transformation scripts to the forum over and over (e.g. split a number into DD:HH:MM:SS, filter out changes that are too small, unit conversions not supported by UoM, etc.).
Your suggestion
Add a new category to the marketplace to install transformations similar to the way that rule templates can be installed. It doesn't need to be a new forum category. I can see valid arguments for keeping them in the rule templates category and maybe identify them using a tag or something like that.
I don't think these need to support properties like a rule template because arguments can be passed to them when they are applied.
Additional information
It's not clear to me if this issue needs to be opened on core first. I can open one over there if work would need to be completed there before here on webui.
