Feature Method Help Needed? #434

Open benloh opened 2 years ago

@jdanish A question for you to consider:

While we have basic coverage for the help system, there are specific issues that could use a more sophisticated help. Specifically, feature methods can use some additional massaging. For example, with the monitor method, we should explain the blueprint and touch type parameters. Right now, the monitor method does have a basic blurb in place:

But as soon as you click on the targetBlueprintName slot or the touchType slot the monitor info is lost.

I was thinking that for feature methods, we could "lock" the feature method help with the "INSTRUCTIONS" area so that even when you select the targetBlueprintName slot or the touchType slot, the method help remains visible. Otherwise you'd have to click back and forth between monitor and the other slots to view the monitor help.

The question for you is how critical you think this would be and whether it's worth the extra time? It's probably at least a half a day to implement.
