This tool is awesome. I didn't think I needed it until I had it. Favorite features: - Ability to check syntax without having to press the 'Check Syntax' button - Ability to see related field/formula compile sizes - Ability to call up fields by typing them without having to go to the clunky 'Insert Field' button - Color coded formulas - get to easily see what's commented in, commented out, functions, etc

Great features so far! Really wanted to make use of the "Analyze fields" feature which does not seem to support our custom object. This object is also somewhat a managed object created by our partner organization. The error message I receive is the following. "Error describing object 'Object_Name__c'. It may only be accessible from a newer version of the API or you may not have meta data api access. Error message: The requested resource does not exist." Is there a workaround for this?

Great extension! I love it and use it almost on a daily basis. Can't imagine life without it now! If I can make one suggestion though, it would be to not have the formula editor open in a separate window when trying to write a formula in flow. If I'm making a formula for my flow's start condition or if I'm making a formula for a variable/resource, the only option I have is for the formula editor to open in a separate window. I would love if it kept the formula editor confined to the same window. It functions like that already for custom formula fields in object manager, I just wish it did the same for flow.
