Enhanced Branch Control with Folder-Specific Element Editing

Idea
1

The idee aims to enhance the branch control feature in Bubble.io by introducing branch-specific element editing capabilities. When a user creates a new branch, they should have the option to select a specific folder. Only elements contained within that selected folder would be available for editing within the branch. Alternatively, a popup could alert users that certain elements or pages are not included in the selected branch folder, thereby restricting unintended changes.
Features:

  1. Folder Selection Option: Upon creating a new branch, users should have the ability to designate a specific folder. This folder will serve as the exclusive container for elements available for editing within that branch.

  2. Restricted Editing: Once a folder is selected for a branch, only elements and pages within that folder will be accessible for modifications. Attempting to edit elements outside of this folder will trigger a popup alerting the user that the element is not part of the branch’s designated folder.

Benefits from my perspective:

  1. Enhanced Development Control: This feature facilitates a more structured development process, allowing for better management of third-party developers and internal teams.

  2. Quality Assurance: By limiting editing capabilities to specific folders within branches, the functionality promotes consistency and reduces the risk of unintentional changes. This ensures a higher overall quality of Bubble.io applications.

  3. Efficiency: Streamlining the branch control and editing process to focus on specific folders increases efficiency by eliminating distractions and unnecessary complexities.

Conclusion?:
Implementing branch-specific element editing in Bubble.io will significantly enhance the platform’s branch control capabilities. By providing users with the option to select a folder for each branch, this functionality offers a structured approach to development, thereby elevating the quality and efficiency of Bubble.io applications.
