Hey, thanks for the report.

After you set a value in the “Auto-Approved Mode Transitions” field, press Enter to save it.

What confused me was the placeholder shown when the input is empty, it seems to imply this is a text input instead of being a badge group. Perhaps you could consider rendering the placeholder as a badge which would be much clearer.

Anyway thank you that was a fast answer :slight_smile:
