Data items auto complete feature

[JohnSmith1]

I think it would be a great idea to have an auto complete feature in the expressions editor so if you start typing a data item or collection name it will suggest options based on the already created data items or collections within your process or object. and then if you press the tab key it will auto complete the name in the editor for you. I've attached a mock up to visualise how this could look. I feel this would save a little time but also it would make it simpler with less clicking involved.

Hi @JohnSmith1,

Thanks for taking the time to raise this idea.

At this time, we aren't planning to extend the expression editor to allow this feature, instead looking to rely on the existing "drag and drop" function that allows users to pull data items and collections into the expression editor from the data item explorer.

Based on this update, I'm going to mark this idea as Not Planned, however if this idea continues to gather support from the community this can be something we revisit if people feel it adds real value to the Design Studio's usability.

Regards,

Rob
