At least, do have an icon or anything significant thing that let us found it in second and WITHOUT COUNT!!!

 

2. buttons to expand all/ collapse all.

It was normal that we need to review formula in again in future.

So, you need to click one by by to view all the formulas?

Two-for one! 😁 Expression numbers and the ability to expand all/collapse all formulas have BOTH been added to the Formula tool as of Designer version 2022.3! Expressions numbers have been added back to the Formula configuration so that you can quickly identify which expression has the error based on any messages received. You'll also see the new toggle in the upper left corner next to Output Column header that will allow you to quickly expand all or collapse all formulas. Happy Alteryx-ing!
