Workflow issue with latest version

NickC4555

Version 8.2.0, Joomla 4.2.8

When creating a new email, after selecting the template, AcyMailing jumps straight to the edit mail screen, missing out the new campaign page where you enter the campaign name, tags, subject and preview line. It is possible to get back to the missed page by clicking apply, but this is obviously a confusing workflow for users.

I am sorry that feel that this is wrong, but I am afraid that this is the way AcyMailing is working, and we can't change that

Thank you for understanding!

mihha I didn't necessarily feel it's wrong, it's just a change from the way it previously worked. Our documentation was written based on use cases modelled on how AcyMailing works, so I can say for sure that it is now different. The workflow was:

Select Emails on the menu
Click Create
Click Classic Campaign
Click Create
Select the Newsletter template
Change the Email Subject if required (e.g. add month and year or anything else)
Click Edit Email
Place text in the space “** insert text here (remove this line) **”. Do not change any other part of the email.
Click Save and Continue

Now step 6 is missed out, and users have to go back to it by clicking apply before continuing the rest of the workflow, which is far less intuitive.
