[UI Feedback] OpenAI Mapping View Not Expanding + Hidden UI Elements (Trash, Menus)

Features
1

Hi Make Team,

I’ve been struggling for two days now with an issue involving the OpenAI (Create a Completion) module — and it’s unfortunately part of a broader pattern I’ve noticed in the Make interface.

:puzzle_piece: Specific issue (OpenAI module):

  • When I try to map the Messages > Message 1 > Content field, the mapping view opens but doesn’t fully expand.
  • I can see the choices[] array at the top level, but I cannot access deeper levels like choices[0].message.content.
  • Even when I click “Expand all”, nothing opens beyond the top.
  • I’ve tried browser zoom out, resizing the window, dragging the corners, duplicating and re-running the module — nothing solves it.
  • The module does return a valid response, and I can see the full structure in the Output tab, but the mapping view just doesn’t show it.

:compass: Broader UX/UI concerns:

This issue seems to be part of a more general usability problem:

  • The Trash icon is often hidden or hard to find, depending on screen size or resolution.
  • The three-dot menu (⋯) for module options is frequently not visible unless you hover very precisely — and even then, it’s not always reliable.
  • Important actions or configuration buttons are visually buried, leading to a lot of wasted time searching or guessing.

:folded_hands: Feedback & Questions:

  • Is there a reason why these essential UI elements are hidden or behave inconsistently?
  • Do you plan to make the interface more discoverable and beginner-friendly?
  • Would it be possible to provide a fallback or raw edit view where users can manually input mapping paths (e.g., {{3.choices[0].message.content}}) with proper validation?

I love what Make enables us to build, but I hope the platform can evolve to be just as powerful in usability as it is in functionality.

Thanks so much for reading — I’d appreciate any insight or updates on this!

Best regards,
