[rules-users] Can business people write rules?

[Esteban Aliverti]

Hi,
Which version of Drools/Guvnor are you using?
Since Guvnor 5.1.1 (or maybe 5.1) you are able to change the order of the
patterns (i.e. DSL Sentences) in the Guided Editor. Maybe this is not what
you are talking about. So a little bit of clarification will be appreciated.
If you want DSL sentences to present a combobox for certain DSL variable,
you can define it in your DSL. I think this is explained in Guvnor manual.
This thread could also help you:
