Editing Required Expression and trying to use parentheses

Have a rule where I have 3 conditions that are all OR and I need to add an AND condition. I added the and but now I need to add parentheses. I select 'Edit Required Expression' and then 'Edit Expression' and I get this:

You can Append the Parentheses but there is no way to move it to the top. We should have the ability to insert it at the correct location or to be able to move it once appended. For now I need to delete all the requirements and set it up again.

That's what the + is for....

This might be more intuitive if the "Append new token" text were to the left (with or without an arrow pointing to the right) and the + sign for appending a new token at the end was lined up with the other + signs in the table column.

Except for the fact that every app table UI uses the same format, so changing this one really doesn't make sense. Is it really so difficult to play with this table to see what it does and how it works? It's pretty darn simple.

Yeah, it would only make sense to change it if it could be done consistently across all the tables that have a similar layout.

Also agreed it's not that hard to figure out. I was just suggesting it might be ever so slightly more intuitive if all the + buttons lined up.

I would disagree. The + being on the opposite side, to me indicates that it is different than the others. So, my POV is that it is more intuitive as is. The + at the bottom on the left appends. The +'s on the right insert, at that location.

Is it really different than the others? From my perspective, they do the exact same thing. Both insert a new line directly above the plus sign, bumping down all UI elements from the level of the + sign that the user clicks.

The one on the bottom left APPENDS at the end. The ones on the right INSERT above the line you are on. From a programming and logic perspective, yes they are different.

I swear it didn't give me an option to insert a ( when using a +

Nope it's there allright... guess I was having a senior moment. Sorry!
