Edit matching pattern for existing rules

[iWARR]

If I want change/optimize syntax of the existing rule:

1) I have to make a new (refined) custom rule for the same domain name, then repeat all settings manually, then delete the old one.

2) If I'll delete the old one first, I will lose my config forever (and must make a tests of the site again).

These are unacceptable and cause a huge time losses.

Please, make an option to change the existing rules. Thanks.

@iWARR I think the template system that is in place might be exactly what you're referring to / looking for. If not though, please let me know (and describe in more detail if possible) what you're looking to do, and I'll see whats possible.

Thanks!

I want have an option to Edit my rules from the Permitting & Blocking lists, that has been created before.

For example:

I have the rule: *.google.com I want quickly edit this to: *.google.*

Suggested variants of implementation:

• Make the Pattern "address bar" active to change a names right here + [Apply] button / Enter • Button [Edit] in the headers of Permitting & Blocking lists • Your variant

Ah, i understand now what you're asking for here. I think it'd be nice to add, but I wont get to it for a while. In the meantime, i suggest the following steps, which should get you most of the way there:

Using your *.google.com example:

1. Select *.google.com and click save template
2. Create a new *.google.* rule and click "apply template"
3. Delete original *.google.com rule

Hope that helps!
