when Source = "(No Source)", remove "Volume" from Feature

Post by iglooooooo »

If I select "No Source" for a parameter's source on a module, Feature still reads "Volume".

Yes it is greyed out, but it still feels confusing sometimes to have "Volume" there. Especially because the greyed out text isn't immediately distinguishable from the active white text. https://i.imgur.com/DnzS4L2.png

Two reasons I'm bringing it up:
1) Would be much easier to parse and understand modules at a glance if instead Feature displayed something like "--". Or if "Feature" wasn't there at all if "No source" was selected.
2) When I was first learning the program, I was confused for a bit because I thought "Volume" was still being taken into account even though I had selected "No source". Sounds like a couple other people had similar experiences.

+1 for this request. Presentation would be much cleaner, and I wouldn't have to explain the misleading display away when I'm describing what I'm doing with a module's parameters.
