Wappler UI: Show additional information in tree view for some steps

This sounds like a Figma job for @nickneustroev

I suggest adding to the Response step, the message text to the tree view. This goes in line with how it’s done in other programming languages, e.g.:

abort(403, "You can't access this webpage");

If the message could appear in the tree view, that would save some clicks and give a better sense of steps.

The same thing applies for steps like If File Exists:

Answer the questions:

  1. Which file exists?
  2. If the file exists, what message does it give?

You can’t answer the questions without additional clicks, but if this were “real code”, you’d know the answers:

if (file_exists("hello.txt")) {
    response(200, "Yes, I exist!")
}

So, the Wappler tree can be optimized for developer’s efficiency

Love these suggestions :smiley:

Some improvements here indeed will help.
I think for this case it would be enough to just add an extra text in the current node.

But in general it will really help a lot, if the properties panel showed up right under the selected node.
