Summary

Analyze keywords

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
