The new branching logic in the action framework is a welcome addition, thank you!!
Beyond the current “Formula” evaluation, would like to see the ability to call a snippet that would return true/false (similar to “Snippet returns true” in rendering conditions). Often times, merge syntax and/or UI-only formulas are not enough to evaluate the criteria required.
A workaround would be to call a snippet before the branch to set a field on a model/row and then use that in the branch formula but being able to call a snippet directly would simplify the design, make it more intuitive to someone reviewing the page and eliminate a “tracker” model as well as the unnecessary model processing overhead just to set a true/false value.
Thank you!
Add ability to run snippet when evaluating branch

I think one of the things that’s really important with Skuid page development is making it as self-documenting as possible. There is still no way to include “comments” on components/pages so having a deliberate “branch” makes the page declaration much more intuitive than either of our proposed workarounds. Hopeful we’ll see “calling a snippet” for formula added in a future release 🙂
