Ability to close connections better from PostgreSQL blocks

At this time, a workflow does not have the ability to directly close a PostgreSQL connect from a PostgreSQL block. As far as I am aware, they instead remain open until they time out, which is typically 10 seconds or so. This enhancement would add ...

[Turbonomics] - Chef Automate

As a part of using RNA with Turbonomics, we would like to integrate with Chef as a part of the process. https://docs.chef.io/automate/api/ OpenAPI Spec: https://docs.chef.io/automate-api-docs/all-apis.swagger.json

Expose API Calls in RNA

Currently when testing any workflow for e.g. authentication failure, the logs are not verbose enough to show details of failure nor the details of API's calls being made. This makes it difficult to identify what is contributing to the failure.

Product inconsistent behavior with undeclared variables

The RNA product behaves inconsistently when undeclared variables are used. While it might not be supported undeclared variabled (not in start block) can be leveraged with workflows except when you debug and step through a block that uses that vari...

Allow faceted search for items within workflows

One enhancement I would have loved to have is a faceted search for object, arrays, block names, etc... for within a single workflow (being edited) and accross workflows.

Log window output enhancements

Would find it very convenient to be able to close all non-executing (stopped) log tabs with one button. Right now I have to click many times to close all the older tabs. e.g., "close all"

Add conditional breakpoints (eval functions)

Would be good to add possibility for conditional breakpoints, where you say "stop here if x == false". Perhaps a breakpoint block with an eval function that is only enabled when debug. Perhaps looking like an "if block". The "breakpoint" block wou...

Improve try catch to reduce number of required blocks.

Currenty when using try/catch blocks, you almost always need 4 blocks. "Try"... "block to execute" ... "catch" ... "if block to check exception". I think the improvement might be to merge the catch/if by making the catch block have fields to simul...

Allow step into when debugging workflow

Currenty when debugging workflows, you can resume, start over, stop and step. The possibility for stepping into another function is missing. This feature is key to allow workflow reuse.

Set workflows to run on all workers in a worker pool

It would be useful to be able to set a workflow to be executed on every worker in a worker pool, rather than round robin. This is useful for testing type scenarios when I'd want to run the same test from multiple endpoints and collate the results....
