Editing an existing script action in Composer HE


Recommended Posts

Is there a way to edit/change an existing script action in Composer HE?

 

Simple example: I have a script action that changes the volume for a room.  Let's say I want to edit the volume level to use a different number. The only way I see to do that right now is delete the existing action, and add back a new action with the volume level I want.

Feels like I'm missing something and that this would be basic functionality.

All help appreciated.

I’m afraid that is the way to do it,

If it is something you are going to change regularly, you could also set the volume equal to a variable and then change the variable value.

Thanks for the response. Not specifically interested in just volume, but more curious about *any* action. Feels like they should make it easy to change an action (particularly for ones that have multiple settings) rather than have to delete and re-add.

While I agree with you as I would like to type and edit code directly... this is not how Composer works and I guess that drag and drop has the advantage of minimising errors. 

If I remember correctly, you can open a project as an XML file directly and edit things that way but it would not be recommended... I am 99% sure that I did this years ago and messed everything up much to my dealer’s disgust.

Not to belabor the point, but one wouldn't have to sacrifice the drag-and-drop UI in order to enable this.

The way every other similar system I've seen do this (and I've seen a lot) is you double click the "item" and it shows you that item's data (basically the same as if you were adding a new one, but the current values are populated). Then you change what you need and click save/update. Done!
