Description

Migrating directives is too much work. It's enforced to upgrade multiple directives if directives of the same type are applied on the same host. It would be really helpful it it would be possible to upgrade multiple directives in one go.

Note: things can be a little better if handled with API call, since you are avoiding a lot of click and it's working in most cases.
Example about how to do that: https://gist.github.com/fanf/193ca80959dde12bc4d3

Hello Denis,

Could you please help me understand what's your use case, what is too much pain, and what you would like to be able to do? An example would be really helpful.

Thanks,

If you look at the attached screenshot, you see a list of 19 directives created from the "Enforce file content" technique. Imagine I want to upgrade all directives from 3.2 to 4.0, it means a lot of clicks.

I second that. Having on a node a Directive for technique X and wanting to upgrade to the upper version requires upgrading ALL the directives linked to this Technique before beeing able to redeploy again (else Rudder complains about a version mismatch, as two diff. versions of the Techniques are applied on the same node).

We do have an API for managing Directives, couldn't we simply provide a script where user could choose the technique, and the source version and destination version ?
It could cover the easy use case (nothing to add in the directive), and then we could improve it to define variables

UI ideas from #5481:

"Section: Exclusion/Inclusion" (a new section in the technique version) is by default folded. If you unflod it, you will see your entries :) Maybe it's a good idea to unfold new sections by default. Maybe you can highlight new sections aditionally.

UI/UX ideas from #6328:

Also, mass migration is not possible and right now it's quitte painful to migrate ~ 27 directives. Last but not least; migrating one directive takes ~ 5 clicks, which might not be necessairy.
