2024.1 Designer not showing Data Preview for Formula tool in config window?

Hi there,

 

I just updated to 2024.1 and noticed that as I'm creating formulas, it no longer is showing me a data preview (thus confirming if my formula works before running again) in the config window if I'm creating a new column. This is really frustrating considering some of my expressions can be quite complex for new columns and I used that feature to make sure that my formula was correct before running the workflow again. Does anyone know if this is a bug or if it's a feature? I searched the release notes and saw that there's a bug with it not showing up if the expression was previously disabled, but I'm not seeing anything about this particular issue. 

 

I've attached screenshots of the formula config where I'm creating columns for expressions and a screenshot of a formula config where I'm using an expression on an existing field for context. 

 

Thank you!
