      Why is there actually no "Issues" tab in GitHub for OpenRPA?
      Because there ARE NO ISSUES! - Oh, ok, I got it... 😉

      I'm using v1.3.61 of OpenRPA (in offline mode due to IT policy) and I have a strange behaviour. When I want to comment out an entire nested sequence, it suddenly disappears completely. I would expect this sequence to be nested inside a "Comment Out" block but instead, the entire sequence is gone. Is that intended, Allan?

        @axel-rp issues are disabled, not be cource there are no issues, but be cource so many people tried to get support or tried rasising issue that was never an issue. By forcing people to rocket chat or the forum, we can have a prober dialog, and if it is a bug/issue i will fixit.
        Please create a sample workflow, and clear mark what i should remark out, to replicate this issue, and uoload here. Then i will have a look.

          Hi Allan, I think this cannot be right or intended:
          When you comment out a nested sequence it visually disappears because OpenRPA places it all the way at the bottom of the parent sequence. I then have to drag it into the position where the sequence was originally. If you comment out single actions then it does that in place but for an entire sequence it moves it all the way to the bottom. That's odd...

            Ok, here is the scenario:

            When you comment out a nested sequence, OpenRPA places it all the way at the bottom of the parent sequence.

            Comment out Sub-Sequence 1 will give you this:

            When you have several actions expanded and you cannot see the bottom of the Main Sequence, you actually think the commented out sequence is gone...

            Now, if you uncomment the sub-squence again, OpenRPA takes out everything that was inside of Sub-Sequence 1 and discards the empty sub-sequence "frame". That again is not intuitive and unexpected.

            I would expect that Sub-Sequence 1 is restored the way it was and at the position it was originally.


            Please note, since you changed from .xaml to .json, it would be good if this chat now allows also json files to be uploaded.
