The recent UI changes to trigger a pipeline and various parts of the app look nicer, but are much less functional. When triggering a pipeline, I used to be able to just click the button, type in my parameter and click run.
Now I need to open the dialog, scroll down to the parameter section. Click the add parameter button, and then type things in.
  1. The
    Config source
    box is getting way too much space. It's entirely useless to me since it was context I selected on the screen before clicking run pipeline.
  2. The pipeline input box is also not useful to me. I don't have alternative options when clicking there and I don't even know what they would be.
  3. The input parameters are the most important part, and should be at the top
  4. Before the screen started with 1 parameter row, now it starts with 0. Starting with 1 is better since 1 param is a very common use case and you can just treat it as 0 if I leave it blank.
  5. Everything is stacked vertically here, even for elements that are not very wide. I'm not using this on mobile, so my screen is wide and not tall, so this leaves me needing to scroll to get to the bottom of this dialog, which is annoying. This layout would make sense on mobile perhaps, but for the predominant non-mobile use case, a layout that uses more horizontal arranging of things would be much better.
