Markdown WF Reports: Edit from WF Invocations Expandable Text Box is Not Expandable

Open assuntad23 opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

Describe the bug When trying to edit a WF Report in Workflow Invocations, there is a text box that appears to be expandable (with arrows), but it is not. Without being expanable, it is very hard to see/find what you're looking to edit.

@jmchilton also voiced concern that this view of editing is not very helpful, and we should perhaps direct back to the full markdown way to edit workflow reports, instead of providing this text box.

Galaxy Version and/or server at which you observed the bug Galaxy Version: dev

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Go to Workflow Invocations
  2. Click on View Report under an invocation
  3. Click Edit button in top corner
  4. Note that the Content text box appears expandable, mouse changes, etc., but is not actually expandable.

Expected behavior Text box is expandable OR this view of editing the report is not shown when a user chooses to edit a WF report.

Correct summary of my position - I would just make this field hidden - the user shouldn't be editing in this tiny box without validation support and such. They can fix it in the full page editor. Does this sound okay to you @guerler?

Yes, this sounds like the better approach. Thank you!
