Problem Statement

I cant not edit the code view on an action and I know this is by design but man is it frustrating.

It would be so helpful to be able to open an action in the designer and just go to the code view and update it there. It is not a smooth process finding the action you want to update, then clicking code view, then search for the action with underscores in the name, finding it, making the update, saving then going back to designer to then verify if the change actually saved.

I wish I could click on the action select an editable code view and make the update there and click save, let it validate and move on.
There are tons of times that when I click on an expression on an action's input that it doesn't automatically open in the expression window, in fact most of the time it doesnt, so I have to go to the code view on the action highlight what I had in there, then go back to the action parameters and delete the expression and paste it back in with my update.

Proposed Solution

I want to click on an action in the designer.
Click a tab on the action that is an editable code snippet of the action.
Click save, and let it validate.
Then update the action.

Alternatives Considered

I either have to go to the code view on the logic app, find the action I wanted to edit by searching with underscores in the name (I cant just copy the action name from the designer because it doesnt have the real name anywhere), then edit the data there and save and double check once the designer loads again.

I can also go to the code view on the action highlight what I had in there and copy it. Then go back to the action parameters and delete the expression, paste what I had copied before, make any edits then update it. That is just for one input field.

Which Logic App type(s) should this apply to?

Both
