For a long time I've intended to ask for this, but was waiting to see if it got fixed in v25. Seems not so ;) Tried searching for similar requests, but found none. Apologies if I missed any relevant requests.

With reference to the attached screen dump. For many triggers (the majority?) Duration, Delay, Value, and Mix are not relevant. Even so their entries are always filled in by vMix when adding/editing a trigger.

In my example AudioOff got the value "80, 1000". Might be because we initially used SetVolumeFade, and later on changed it. No matter the cause, there is no use for a value in this case.

More examples: OverlayInput4Out does not require any Input specification. But for some reason it has in this case. ScriptStart has nothing to do with neither a specific input nor the Mix (number).

Why does this matter? Well, it is simply very confusing when trying to figure out what a bunch of triggers do. Especially when one has to do some last minute changes or, even worse, in the middle of the production...

But, maybe I am the only one with a whish for a cleaner trigger list :D

(I realize it might be very complicated for the vMix developers to clean up existing lists. But perhaps it would be feasible to at least avoid adding irrelevant stuff when new triggers are added, and old triggers are edited).
