Filter Dialog and the More Parameters Button


A small part of a recent exchange at RFO prompts this post.

There is a sneaky button next to the Filter Rules drop down list box. If you click on it (the button with the ellipsis ... ) it will open the Project Parameters dialog. Using it implies or suggests that choosing a parameter from the list, if any are there, will assign the parameter to Filter by. It doesn't do that. It is side door access to creating a Project Parameter. A side door because it allows us to do that without bailing out of the Filter dialog first to do it.


Clicking on the button is the same as choosing the More Parameters option at the very bottom of the list of parameters.


It might be a little more obvious if it said Create Parameter instead?

Oh so subtle...
