I use big ammounts of smart inserters and i often have to copy conditions from one to another. It would be easier to check which one I missed if I could just mouseover them instead of having to click every one of them. Something similar to chests display.

Yes that would be definitly handfull. I like that idea! The number of info show doesnt have to be full. It would require only eg. filter order on inserter.
It would be neat to see that on combinators as well!

Have you tried advanced view (switch with Alt key)?

That only shows Filer, not Logistic nor Circuit Network Conditions.

Hm. What we need here is in my opinion
a) A visible sign, that this inserter has a connection to the logistic network (and a set condition)
b) A function, which copies not only one, but many devices at once (drag a border around then copy to all inside).

This gives me nothing. I should be able to see what conditions are set to the inserter in the same place on GUI i can see what is requested by requester chest.

True, but it does show you whether or not you've actually copied instructions into that particular Smart Inserter, or if you somehow missed it. So it actually gives you the help you need.
What I'd like is for the Alt overlay to show me whether or not each Chest within view has had its contents limited or not. I don't need to see if it's limited to 1 stack, 5 stacks or 8, just whether or not it
has been limited. That'd be useful, when I copy/paste Chest instructions but occasionally miss one.

I dont know how you arrived to this conclusion bit you are wrong. It only shows Filters so if its not set on inserter it shows nothing. How, according to you, is it suppose to show if i copied the settings if only conditions are set?

There needs to be a easier way to see the smart conditions. I think that the filters should be seen in the alt/advanced view, and the circuit conditions upon hover-over.
