Automation choose feature request

Feature Requests

I often use choose in my automations and I would like a descripition field for every option so I can what that option is supposed to do. I would also like to be able to open and collapse an option so I can point my attention to the opened option.

So exactly like alias option shown in all the examples?

    action:
      - choose:
          - alias: "IF nobody home, sound the alarm!" #### <---- This
            conditions:
              - condition: state
                entity_id: group.family
                state: not_home
            sequence:

I think the author is requesting that option be exposed in the automation editor UI. You can’t fill in or see the alias field without dropping to yaml.

And expand and collapse is obviously a UI request.

Thanks for your reply and you’re correct, I would like to see this option in the UI.
