Double click on iLogic rule should run the rule

Double click on iLogic rule should run the rule

In my opinion it would make much more sense for a double click on a rule in the iLogic pane to run the rule instead of editing the rule. Hopefully we're all more often running rules rather than reconfiguring them!

Some rules are rather destructive in nature. Expressing a clear intention to launch it (from the context menu or from a ribbon icon) is quite important.

It is not possible to 'down vote' an idea, but I would not want this functionality.  I have been creating and running iLogic rules in Inventor for over a decade now, and like that specific functionality the way it is.  Since about the 2023 or 2024 version of Inventor, we have had the ability to include buttons within Inventor's ribbons for running external iLogic rules and global iLogic forms.  The vast majority of the rules & forms I use are external/global on purpose, because they are much easier to manage & maintain in one place that way.  Plus, we can make 'form rule buttons' to run iLogic rules with a single click, if necessary.  Since there are already multiple easy ways to run our rules, and I develop & use iLogic stuff a lot every day at work, I want to be able to quickly edit my rules, and that double click is the only way besides the less efficient right-click context menu way.  If yet another fast way to run iLogic rules is wanted, then maybe a keyboard key like Ctrl, Shift, or Alt could be held while clicking the rule, to run it in one click.  That would not change a long history of common & expected functionality, while adding more functionality options.  Or maybe there could be a 'setting/option' in the iLogic Configuration settings for switching the functionality of a double-click on an iLogic rule between edit & run.  That way, those of us who like it the way it is can keep it that way, while others have the option to change it to suit their preference.  More options are almost always better than fewer.
