My Secrets : a couple of problems with the "Use in a service" buttons
Currently there are two separate buttons for "using a secret" in a service :
- one in the "toolbar" towering the My Secrets space
- when "inside" a given secret, one at the bottom of the screen, next to the Add a new variable button
There's at least two differences between the two, one being mostly a nitpick, and the other a bit more serious (although you can circumvent it)
The nitpick
Their labels are different, at least in english language (respectively Use in a service and Use in services)
The "problem"
While the "top" button seems to work normally (albeit not saying anything about what it actually does), the other actually shows a modal with some elements :
- a statement The path of the secret have been copied
- some instructions on how to use it (which could benefit the top button btw)
- a checkbox Don't display again
- a Got it button.
But despite the statement, the path is not yet copied at this point, and worse, it's only copied to the clipboard when clicking Got it if the Don't display again checkbox is ticked. If you dismiss the modal by clicking Got it without checking the Don't display again (which is sane if you want to be able to check the intructions), then nothing happens.
I don't have a formal proposition for "fixing" this, but one of the least costly ways could be to :
- have the top button also show the modal, so the two behave similarly
- copy the secret path independently of the Don't display again checkbox
