Refactor the Input and output mapping for Processes

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

You recently changed the way we assigned input/output data to a System Task while designing a Process. But honestly this is not good at all : it's a complete waste of time to work with the new design.


1) you cannot see the input/output data of the System Task without clicking "Open" and opening that sub-window... when you have a lot of updates to do, it's really time consuming opening and closing it, with the risk of not hitting OK but CANCEL and you lose your changes.
2) you cannot see input and output data at the same time, whereas it was nice to have both viewes at the same time.
3) the Variable vs JS is not intuitive and is also confusing. Often I need to enter JS (for tw.env.xxxx for example or to access a porperty of a Record) but if I forget to click JS first that I hit a pb later on. It was better to have a single type.
4) the Variable view is very confusing  : if you need to select the property of one object, then you cannot easily see from which object the property belongs unless you click on it (now I just see "total" for "tw.local.myObject.total".. and if I have another variable named "tw.local.total", I cannot see which one it is from unless I click the variable itself.)

 

I think the old Data mapping window was better, faster, more efficient. It might looks nicer today but it's not efficient at all to work with it.

 

In a nutshell, the old Data Mapping view as the one of Service Flows is just perfect. No need to make anything different.
