+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.

Allow comments on expressions, very useful to help understand complex expressions https://screencast.com/t/NSxuMFi5

Look at version 10. You can add comments in the expressions.

If you do not want to embed comments, you can add them by clicking Comment in the Expression Editor.  It is not possible to have comments within the expression editor like that.

Hello Digi

This idea is already implemented. If you pretend to propose a change is better to create a new idea.


Regards
