Subject: Re: [murano] Is there blueprint to add argument collection UI for action

Tony,

Here is the blueprint: https://blueprints.launchpad.net/murano/+spec/action-ui

The problem is much bigger then it seems to. Action parameters are very similar to regular application properties and thus there should be a dedicated dynamic UI form (think ui.yaml) for each action describing its inputs.
We discussed it many times and each time the resolution was that it is better to do major refactoring of dynamic UI forms before introducing additional forms. The intention was to either simplify or completely get rid of ui.yaml because it is yet another DSL to learn. Most of the information from ui.yaml could be obtained by examining MuranoPL class properties. And what is missing could be added as additional metadata right to the classes. However a lot of work requires to do it properly (starting from new API that would be MuranoPL-aware). That's why we still have no proper UI for the actions.

Maybe we should reconsider and to have many ui forms in single package until we have a better solution.



Sincerely yours,
Stan Lagun
Principal Software Engineer @ Mirantis

Dear Stan and Murano developers,

The current murano-dashboards can add the action button for the actions defined in Murano class definition automatically, which is great.
Is there any blueprint to add argument collection UI for the action?
Currently, the murano-dashboards only uses environment_id + action_id to run the actions, and user has no way to provide action arguments from UI.

Thanks in advance,
Tony
