Submission GuidelinesI would like the parse tools (regex, split to columns...) to by defualt, not point at any column.
The parse tools need to be pointed at a column, however they by defualt configure them selves to point at the first column. Every time I use them, I enter the other configuration options, such as a regular expression, then hit run. After hitting run, my output column will be populated with only null values yet I will recieve no error.
The reason for this, is 100% EBKAC (error between keyboard and chair), as I have forgotton to point the tool to the correct column, and instead its looking at the defualt (first column)
If the defualt option didnt exist, or was blank, the tool would then error telling me to think about what im doing and point the tool to the correct column.
I believe this change in the tools defualt behaviour would save hours of debug time, wondering why my regex statment isnt working, when in actual fact im just looking at the wrong column.
