Autocompletion and Syntax Highlighting in ALL Tools with Expression Editor

[PhilipMannering]

The Formula Tool does a good job of autocompleting expressions (for example an open square bracket will show you variables in your dataset), as well as syntax highlighting (coloring variables, keywords, strings, etc).

I propose having this feature available in all tools that use the expression editor, particularly common ones such as the Multi-Row Formula Tool and the Multi-Field Formula Tool.

This parity across tools would provide a more consistent experience for the user and increase one's productivity using these tools. It's incredibly helpful for beginners and seasoned Alteryx users alike and should be available wherever possible.

This would be a nice add

This is a no brainer! Definitely needed.

Thanks for posting! It's true, a more consistent experience for a beginner user will make a big difference in learning the software.

It would be super helpful to have the same for all tools that use expressions.

Yes! +1. Consistency is key for our users.

Agreed the Multi-Row Formula Tool would be hugely improved by this !

I was just about to submit this idea - however, found it had already been raised. Do we happen to know if this will be implemented? Currently, the Multi-row and Multi-field Formula tools are intimidating for new users who are not familiar with the formula syntax.

Cheers,
