rule test act

Hi there,

This has been on my mind for a while. When using the “run test” in rules engine, it seems the test rule doesn’t go to the end of what it could test.

It will generate your data set from your tasks. It will apply the criteria in the action. 

BUT it won’t tell you if you have made a mistake in your action setup (i.e. the identifier, for example).

Here’s an example. I’m updating tags in the company object, from an object where I have the relationship ID (and via lookup the company ID), which displays as GSID. I get absentmindedly to the action settings, and I map the GSID to the GSID. 

Well the test is going to show me there was 815 successes in my first action. 

TEST RUN

 

LIVE RUN

It doesn’t tell me that there would in fact be 0 pass, because the source GSID doesn’t match the target GSID (relationship vs company). BUT, it should do that. It should identify, during the test, that there would be 0 pass if we were to run this live.

Please make this happen, so testing doesn’t end with the the criteria, but ends with a test on the action (how many records WOULD pass based on the identifier). 

Thanks

Ohhh, the number of times I thought about this! It would be awesome to actually test the action step.
