When the names of actions in the Workflows Editor get too long, which is somewhat easily achieved when using folders, the names get cut off in the Layout Editor and can make it difficult to chose the correct action. Hovering the cursor of the names does not make them appear in full (Arc Browser). @DJP ![Screenshot 2025-04-08 at 18.29.13](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/0/e0896a9349de80985cc26fe2bde0b1e6002913ec.jpeg) ---

Thanks for the feedback! This is a general point and not specific to this feature though, right? ---

Absolutely correct, it’s a general need and not specific to this feature. But I happened to be working with the new action and I know you’re keeping an eye on this thread. The folders could be displayed in the layout editor (this would shorten the name of the action) and hovering the cursor would still allow us to see the full name. ---

I’m staying on topic this time. I just noticed today that requests 1 and 2 were heard. Thank you so much, it truly makes a difference. @DJP (Any chance you managed to look at request nº3?) ---

I haven’t tested it on iPhone yet. I’m “lucky” that I only need to use this on desktop, so the iPhone use case isn’t a blocker right now. ---

I have set mine to “auto-record” (I cannot remember the exact wording), that is to start immediately when the first button is tapped. Would that make a difference? ---

Have you tried on a different device, like another iPhone? Maybe it has to do with access to the microphone on your iphone? ---

Yes Same result. Access is enabled and you can tell it’s ’listening’ as the sound waves react with the voice. What I find most interesting is that you have tried it ([record test](https://recordtest.glide.page/)) with an Android phone and it didn’t work but your page with this feature works. Suggests to me it’s something to do with the setup. ---
