Undesired behavior using the "Add All Browses" feature on tools with multiple outputs

Hi Alteryx team,

please see gif below. I observed the following behavior earlier and wanted to ask if it is desired or a possible bug.

When I add a tool to the canvas that has multiple output options and have one browse tool attached to one of the outputs already, I have an undesirable behavior subsequently using the "Add all Browses" feature. If I already have one browse tool attached to one of the outputs, I would expect that the "Add all Browse" feature only adds browse tools to the outputs that do not have a browse tool attached.

Thank you

Hi @bigdataranger

That has been the functionality of the "Add Browse" feature as long as it has been a feature. It's technically not wrong since it is adding all Browses (albeit, again).

Maybe this could be submitting in the Designer Ideas section as a potential option or enhancement in the future?

Hi CharlieS,

Thanks for the quick reply! You are right, it is technically not wrong. However, as a user I find it undesirable and would like to only see new browse tools on outputs that do not have a browse tool attached already.

Great, I'll post it in the Designer Ideas section. Thank you for sharing the link!
