Keep the formatting of a Calculation in the editor window

Costin Domozina

Description

After a Calculation is validated and saved any text formatting used when creating/editing the Calculation is lost.

We would want to keep the text formatting used when the calculation was created/edited.

Use Case and Business Need

Use Case

Developers have different ways of formatting calculations.

For example, when creating a case statement most of the developers want to add each condition on a different line.

Business Need

Keeping the text formatting of a calculation will make it easier to understand and cha change the calculation.

Yes, please! I have this same issue and it always drives me nuts. This is a really good call out!

Useful.
I don't know if there is a way to add comments in a calculation editor box, otherwise it would also be an option to add.

Hi, yes, you can add comments to the calculation editor box by commenting the texts out -- /** comments text here **/. I have found this helpful while testing calculations and, of course, explaining what I am trying to calculate.

It'd make writing / reading formulae much easier!
