How should existing AppleScript conditions be handled in 7.4

We're deciding how best to handle the case where there is an AppleScript conditional (AppleScript conditionals will be deprecated as part of our migration to a 64-bit server for Catalina). There are two fundamental options about how to evaluate:

  1. Have the conditional automatically return True so that the actions will always execute.
  2. Have the conditional automatically return False so the actions will never execute.

Note that we're not discussing how to handle the field itself, or anything about Python conditions. We're just talking about how we evaluate existing AppleScript conditions. So, vote and we'll take the results under advisement.

Is it possible to edit the Option value of your poll - Safari on iOS wont let me click the radio button.

Possibly a wrapping issue? The label can remain full text, just wrap the value?

Yeah, phpbb styles are super hard to get fully/completely right. Just make your window bigger... :P

Making window bigger doesn’t help the button start working!

I'm not seeing any issues with the button, and now I see the button doesn't show up. There's supposed to be a green Submit Vote button under the choices.

I suspect your issue is that you're not logged in...

Re: How should existing AppleScript conditions be handled in

Just wanted to wrap up this thread now that 7.4 is released and explain the implemented behavior: AppleScript conditionals are commented out and converted into Python (they have to be hand corrected/ported to Python) and will evaluate as False until that correction is made. That is, Trigger and Schedules that have embedded AppleScript conditional will by default not run in Indigo 7.4 until they are converted (by the user).
