Its been awhile since I added or updated my rules and seem to be stuck adding an if statement conditional into what's now a Rule Machine Legacy rule. I have a lot of variables created in the Rule Machine Legacy and most of my rules set and check them. But going in to add a new rule (and I'm not using the new 5.0 Rule Machine - I have probably a hundred rules all interconnected together with variables which means I can't mix and match them between the old and new Rule Machines) that I see how to do.
When I try to add a conditional rule or simple condition like
If (DONOTDISTURB = True)
I'm not seeing where to select a RM variable anywhere in the list of options. DONOTDISTURB is one of my boolean RM variables.
Am I missing something or did something change in how you do this?
That's what I'm scratching my head over, I thought I recall you just select Variable or something like that. I don't have anything like that in the drop down list of things you can pick for a conditional in either the if rule then or the Simple conditional .
Yea, I know. I've been using this for a year or two now. I have 25 global variables defined in the Rule Machine Legacy and the variable I'm trying to add to an if statement in a new rule is one I've got in a huge number of rules I created a long time ago. Its been months since I modified or added any rules and now that I'm trying to make a new one I can't find where to add the variable anymore.
This screenshot shows the Rule Machine Legacy variable I'm trying to add into a new if statement and that its used in a huge number of older rules.
Okay, so adding a new run under RM Legacy doesn't create a legacy rule. Are there any tools to migrate old rules to 5.0? My rules are so intertwined I can't just redo them one at a time in my spare time as really nothing will work unless I redo them all and I have 127 legacy rules and I don't have time to redo all that work one line at a time.
No but if you will do what I said above, you can create a blank Rule-4.1, and then clone it whenever you need a new Rule-4.1. You con't have to migrate, and you can continue to create new ones by cloning that blank rule. Once cloned, it will be like any other new rule.
