Add Comments in expression editor

+1 to this - especially if you have a somewhat complex expression.

I think if you have a somewhat complex expression you should implement it as a flow as it will be more clear.

Add comments to text expressions. Those comments are not evaluated.

Sample in the attached image.

Hi guys,

Sometimes when you have a pretty complex assign or query statement you'd like to add some comment.

I have a few queries that contain some complex statements.
I also have a few assigns that contain several IF statements and a few entity actions.

I currently use structures like teh one below to add in come comment; but this is not the way I'd like to do this:
("Oude bewaarloondatum valt in Tarief periode" <> "")
and ( TARIFF.ValidFrom <= OldRentDate and ( TARIFF.ValidTo  >= OldRentDate or TARIFF.ValidTo = NullDate() ) )
or
("Tarief periode valt in bewaarloontermijn" <> "")
and  ( TARIFF.ValidFrom >= OldRentDate and (TARIFF.ValidTo <= NewRentDate and TARIFF.ValidTo <> NullDate() ) )
or
("Nieuwe bewaarloondatum Tarief periode valt in bewaarloontermijn" <> "")
and  ( TARIFF.ValidFrom <= NewRentDate and (TARIFF.ValidTo >= NewRentDate or TARIFF.ValidTo = NullDate() ) )

I'd rather use a // line comment or { BLOCK COMMENT } instead.
