Description

When editing a group, the three buttons are at the bottom of the screen in this order: Clone Update Delete.

This is confusing, because:
  • We always have the "default" rule at the bottom right everywhere. So "Update" should be on the far right.
  • In the Directive and Rule screens, the Delete button is in a separate frame at the top of the screen. I think we should do the same in this screen. The Clone button could go there as well.

I tried both of your options :

1) Move Clone and Delete buttons on top of the forms:

2) Move Update on the far right, and Clone and Delete on the left:

I think it's better to put that kind of actions on the bottom. It seems common on crud apps to put them there (ie: google image : "crud apps").

What do you think?

OK for me, so long as we have a consistent approach throughout the application: for groups, directives, rules, etc... So if you change one, please change them all! :)
