Tried it. No luck. Installed chrome. Same game. Can‘t get the X on a connector. Can‘t select it either

I hopefully fixed almost all of these besides the delete.
Please check if you are running V1.8 for these fixes.

Great! Thank you.
The issues have been fixed indeed.
I do have a question on the tag selection/drop down field. My initial though was that it would show a list of available tags. In my case, no list is shown. But if I start typing something in the field, the space above the virtual keyboard shows the first three hits.
Is the way it should work? Or is the app supposed to show a list of tags?

Noted one additional thing regarding cards that set the dim level of a light: the card does not show the set dim level:
When switching to the card’s Edit mode, the dim level can be set though. But it’s not shown on the card itself.

Its called autocomplete on desktop you type and get a list of items that match your search query. I guess on mobile it takes autocomplete a bit literal? Is it okay or would you like to see a list? The problem I had was the dropdown was huge cause it was device tags + custom tags

The term ‘Action Condition Trigger’ feels wrong to me — in a flow you start with a trigger. Can this be changed to ‘Trigger Condition Action’?

I understand your consideration. It’s a bit of a dilemma.
- The current implementations limits the hits displayed. The downside is that you need to know the exact name of the tag/variable, otherwise it will not be included in the three auto-complete suggestions;
- A list with all tags/variables will be long. But it contains all possible items. You do have to combine it with the device name (like you are now also doing in the auto-complete option), as tags with the same name are used for multiple devices.
Personally, I would prefer a list. Like Homey’s own flow builder shows when selecting a tag/variable. I would rather browse through a list knowing the tag/variable is in there, instead of guessing the exact name of the tag/variable in order for it to pop up in the auto-complete section. But again, this is a personal preference 😊.
Not sure whether it would be possible to create a searchable drop down list. So that the number of items reduce while typing in the search criteria?

Finally had some time again to work on it V1.9 is available to test.
What’s new:
- Better tag support when editing text arguments
- Tags are now shown as chips, similar to Homey’s own editor
- Backspace removes a full tag chip at once
- You can insert global tags
- You can also insert tags from previous/linked cards, like an Error token
- System cards with arguments should be easier to edit
- Default/placeholder arguments are shown more clearly when they still need attention
- Several mobile/tablet layout improvements
- Better handling when switching flows with unsaved changes
- Tag picker is now a search dropdown rather than auto complete
- Being able to delete flows
- Being able to create regular flows

When you didn’t already, please read the manual in post # 1 of this topic.
I just followed instructions and it works, the generated API key gets accepted.
Note: I copy the generated API key string by “select all” + copy (the copy button on the right doesn’t alway do what I expect it to do)

It works great. The Guy performed a Nice job. Thanks
So you will see many trigger points in these advance flow.
This is necessary for the process overview’s.

Hi @Kyle_Michiels: I noted that when I am scrolling though a canvas on my iPad, MAFE sometimes confuses the scroll gesture with moving a flow card, that is in the same spot as where I started the scroll gesture.
Would it be possible to move a flowcard only after e.g. a long press on the card followed by the move action? This would prevent accidental movements of cards.

Hoe can I test a part of an advance flow. For this moment it is not possible to test from selected point.
Second point: In constant in decisions block I do not see decimal point or commas. It will shows as space
A process related advance flow contains many trigger points and many outputs. I see this as a complete process control block.
I am working on iPad Air with mouse and keyboard.

@Kyle_Michiels: I noticed some weird behavior when creating Advanced Flows from scratch via MAFE. See the example below. Just a few flowcards connected to each other. The flow is saved.
If I open the flow in Homey’s own flow editor, the canvas stays empty. If I export the flow in Homey and inspect the JSON-representation of the flow, I noted that all flowcards have either a negative X or Y position or both:
If I manually change the negative X and Y coordinates into 0 or positive values in the JSON and import the edited flow into Homey, it shows the flowcards.
So it seems that MAFE’s canvas is larger than Homey’s own flow editor can display. Homey’s own canvas starts at the position in the top left corner with X and Y coordinates being 0. It does not show flows that are in the negative space (further above or to the left).
I don’t know why MAFE put or allows to put the flowcards in the ‘negative’ area, but I assume that should not be the case.
