[5.41] Show activity and property name in the expression editor
CompletedIntroduced in VertiGIS Studio Workflow 5.41
The workflow designer's expression editor sometimes hides important information, and I can't resize it to see what's underneath.
Would it be possible to show the name of the activity and the property that's currently being edited? Maybe it could replace the obvious text Input Editor?

It already shows the property name (Expression in your screenshot) so it's just the activity name we're talking about really.
While we could include the display name and/or id of the step in the dialog, I'm not really sure how much this would add. Are there times when it's unclear which activity you had selected when you click the Expand button?

Haha, my bad, expression is indeed the name of the property in this case 😳.
But yes, it happens that I get confused about which activity I am editing, especially when I have a number of activities with the same type near each other. Sometimes I'm not paying enough attention to which activity is selected, and just hit the button to open the editor.

Maybe we could just change the caption to something like $evaluate1.Expression .
In the unlikely event of no name being present, we could do what Navigator does and use the display name of the activity. Something like {Evaluate Expression}.Expression .

I think this works.
Case 1 - the ID is defined:
Case 2 - there is no ID:

Now that I think about it, maybe the dot notation is misleading as this looks like an expression, but we're showing an input, not an output. Maybe “ > ” would be better.
form1 > Reset[Display Form] > Reset

Nice, looks good to me :-)
