Extension summary

Current features include:

  • NEW - Save time making constants with the Constant Generator Tool. Quickly create Text and Number constants in with a CSV upload
  • NEW - Added a setting to enable variable formatting when looking at process instances
  • Changes favicons for most Appian objects that have a dedicated designer
  • Right-click to convert all underscored text input values to camelCased. Useful for quickly setting up CDTs from existing DB tables
  • Expression editor text sizing to allow for more code to be visible in the editor at once

Extension works on localhost, appiancorp.com, appian.com, appiancloud.com and appianci.net environments. Look for the little red Appian designer icon in your loaded extensions list.

Future enhancement ideas include:

  • Favicons for objects without designer windows (Users, Groups, Folders, etc.)
  • Environment specific favicons
  • Additional visual indicators for designer tabs that have unsaved changes or are read only
  • Additional expression editor themes
  • Autosave capabilities
  • Additional in-editor documentation and recipes for built-in Appian functions and user defined rules
