AA Bricks: Usability issues with the Task/Bot dropdown field
See this Loom that demonstrates most of the following issues
- No way to clear the selection -- can't get back to the full list of bots/tasks
- When public workspace is selected, no options populate in the list until the user types a search query -- very unintuitive, can't see all options at once, have to know what you're looking for
- When there's an error fetching options, the error message appears as the "placeholder" in the select dropdown, instead of any sort of error text around the field itself
- When you switch back to an integration that does not have an error, and it CAN successfully fetch the list of options again, it still doesn't clear the error placeholder thing from the previous bullet point ☝️ If you combine the previous 2 bullets, it makes it very unclear that the dropdown list is working properly, because you see the error placeholder, and no options until you type a filter query
- Similarly, it's also unclear in cases where the drop is not working. You can make a valid selection and then switch to another integration, and the list will show the error placeholder when you click, but the selection won't change and it'll keep the previous bot/task name selected in the field
