Make INTERFACE tools use ANNOTATION like all other tools

[MarqueeCrew]

For example I have an ERROR MESSAGE tool that is rather verbose.  I chose to modify the annotation as:  ZIP Code Check.  I presumed that the result would simply be "ZIP Code Check", but Alteryx added that to the beginning of the annotation rather than replacing the whole annotation.  I reported this as a bug, but was told that this was designed to operate in this manner.  It was suggested that I bring this out as a "New Idea" to the community for review.  If you agree that the tools should operate in a similar fashion for annotation (or other actions) across the pallet, please STAR this.  Otherwise, I'm happy to hear your feedback.

Thanks,

Mark

Likewise - When you annotate an Action tool (for example: Update Input Data Tool) it appends your annotation with the original annotation.  

If there is a reason for this I'd be curious to hear it - otherwise I expect tools to behave the same - whatever annotation I enter should be it.

Cheers,

Bob

Thank you for your post! 

This feature should be available in an upcoming release, and we'll update this idea again once it's publicly available for download!
