Business value
You can save time when you view and edit complex expressions by using visuals like color coding and automatic tab spacing. You no longer need to spend time navigating through obscure data to find what you need.
Feature details
Currently, expressions appear as obscure text with no color coding. Because you can have complex expressions without parentheses guidance, it can be difficult to find your way while editing an expression. Also, you manually indent expressions by entering spaces and new lines to make your expression readable. The expression editing space is limited to five lines, which doesn't work well with long, complex expressions.
With this feature improvement, you can access color coding in expression editor so you can visually discern functions with static values. As you build the expression, you can easily indent your long expressions by pressing Enter, which inserts appropriate tabbing. When you select a function parenthesis (opening), the closing parenthesis highlights. Conversely, when you select a closing parenthesis, the opening parenthesis highlights. The expression editor space now extends to 10 lines to facilitate long expressions.
