So currently the highlight activity will highlight an element for you for a specified number of seconds, in a colour you pick.
Main purpose seems to be visual feedback etc.
I personally think it can be nice in error reporting but I got to an annoying limitation today.
You see I was trying to match some data to a datatable in SAP, sometimes there are multiple matches in the data table since some fields to search on are option, at this point I want to highlight all the matching rows and take a screenshot.
My problem is, highlight refuses to work multithreaded it seems. I tried adding them to a parallel for each, but they fire in sequence. I didnt try the normal parallel cause I dont have a fixed number of rows.
What I propose is an option in the activity to toggle the highlight on, and that it just stays on for as long as you like.
Could also be useful in attended apps where you highlight something for the user and leave it there until they are done.
