Consideration - Fast Actions Button - Is the 'action' button necessary?

[Trobinou]

Is this button really necessary to confirm the choices?
Indeed, I noticed that when the workflow loads, I have to start by pressing this button to validate the displayed choices. If I don't do that, the actions don't proceed as displayed.
Furthermore, I often forget (my fault) to confirm my choices because, for me, it is logical that when I see 'enable,' for example, the action should be triggered without the need to validate it.

So my question is: could we do without this button?

Hmm.. there's only one actual "button" on the Fast Actions Button node and that's what actually runs the actions. Is that what you mean by "validate" ?

So, taking the following example, it has one button ("Action!" and three combos to select which actions to run).

• Clicking that "Action!" button will run the three actions which, in this case, are:
  • Resetting the connected Seed node to randomize
  • Setting all toggles on the connected Fast Muter to "mute"
  • And then queuing the prompt to run

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding, but the button surely needs to exist to click it :)

The choice of the term 'validate' was not appropriate, but indeed, it is about clicking the 'Action!' button to execute the selected actions.
What I meant is, would it not be possible to choose the desired option, for example, for the 'seed' in your example, between 'Fixed-increment-decrement-randomize,' and have the choice executed without pressing the 'Action!' button?

I think the intention of this node might be as a macro…ie, one button that sets the workflow in a specific state.
In my workflow AegisFlow, I’d connect a huge host of nodes that set various parameters and enabled some nodes while muting others…say, a single action button that eliminates all nodes from executing except the most basic setup for testing and experimentation.

You're right, especially as the pack is rich enough in nodes to do as I wish: [Mute / Bypass Relay] + [Fast Muter] or [Fast Bypasser] gives me complete satisfaction 👌
I'm closing this request as it seems to me that there's no reason for it.
