Allow Saving Of Developer Tools Service Calls

It would be nice if you could somehow save a set of predefined developer tools service calls so that you don’t need to keep selecting the options for each service call that you wish to make. e.g. I have a regular service call that I make to the watchman service, but then sometimes I want to do other ones. Would be good if you could save them and retrieve from a dropdown list or maybe allow tabbing of new service calls.

Create a script for the common calls you are doing.

Dev tools are for testing.

alias: Watchman
sequence:
  - service: watchman.report
    data:
      create_file: true
      send_notification: false
      parse_config: false
      chunk_size: false
mode: single

Good idea. And please also for the templates. :pray:

Again, dev tools are for testing.

Get the free version of Notepad++ and save all the templates that you want.

Yeah I did consider that, but was more looking at improving the developer tools area. Scripts are more permanent. I guess I am comparing what I do when using Azure Log Analytics or Sql Server Management studio where you can have multiple query windows open. Using Notepad++ isnt as nice as its not integrated into HA.

Well, my initial response was based on this. So, I am not sure I get what you are saying.

No, Notepad++ is not integrated. But, again, you are talking about testing. Not production.

Developer tools are amazing. But treating them like prod takes too much away from real/useful changes in my opinion.

I think maybe your over analyzing what I am trying to achieve.
I appreciate there is always 100 ways to skin the cat so to speak but I am merely saying that it would be a nice addition if you could have more than one “version’” of the dev tools service and as @VDRainer mentioned, the template tool as well.
Not saying that this is a top priority request or that I couldn’t make do without it. Just saying it would be a nice little addition.

It is okay. We can disagree :slight_smile:

But, if you really believe in it, please vote for your FR.
