Head section template node appear in first flow in editor

Open Mitaro-BR opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Current Behavior

When you put a template node (on dashboad) in head section... the editor shows this node in first flow in dashbord layout (tabs&links).

Expected Behavior

I think that needs to have a exclusive section to nodes in head section.

Steps To Reproduce

Create a template node and configure it to be in head section... go to dashbord in right menu and you will see that's not in correct flow.

Example flow

No response

Environment

Node-RED version: 2.1.3 Node.js version: 12.22.7 npm version: 6.14.15 Platform/OS: Debian Browser: Chrome

This should have been raised against the https://github.com/node-red/node-red-dashboard/ project, not the core project. Also as pointed out in the template shown when opening issues, feature requests should really be raised on the Forum or Slack not as issues

While it logically makes sense, if we did that then by default it would create an extra tab in the layout that would then mean we would have to hide it and other complications that this being a special case would bring. While not as slick as it could be (adding things to head was an added capability) - I'm not inclined to expend effort to t"fix" it as it doesn't affect functionality. But would be happy to consider a Pull Request.
