🧐 Your opinion needed. Automations in Fibery (limitations and opportunities)

Before responding, curious what you mean by “full re-write”, and what (from the feedback collected) justifies re-writting instead of adding missing features. What features would a re-write unlock?

  1. Nothing. If the no-code can’t do it. We can script. Anything is possible there. I think this topic is relevant for this discussion: 👂 Feedback needed: scripts in automations that shouldn't be scripts.

The only time I’ve reached for scripts recently due to these limitations:
Unlink Automations to Reference Earlier Steps and To be able to use Formula in Automation filters
2. No
3. Better data input (theme with several parts, hope it counts under a single thing:
"Filters aren’t applied because they have missing ‘𝑥’ dynamic values",
New Feed entity form should open as popup,
Allow using a Formula to define Default Values, What if entity view was treated as a dashboard?.

I personally think automations in Fibery are already much more powerful than most competing platforms. (The “Step 1 Linked Entity” is amazing for complex automations).
Are there things that could be improved? Yes. Looping, conditions, using step results are examples. But the workarounds needed (at least for me) have not yet justified spending the time and energy into a full re-write of automations. Again, I’m curious to understand what features can’t be added without a full rewrite.
