UserStory: in 99% cases we use previous name as input for current step - very annoying and difficult to read, not comfortable to type and edit (it's always a double work).
Proposal: reserve some special symbol (#, for instance) for previous step name (like "_" for each)
This feature would be very useful for advanced users, who works more with Advanced Editor than with GUI.
Metacode Example:
Instead of this:
let
Source = someLoadDataFunction(...),
#"Step 1" = someFunction1 (Source, ....),
#"Nice Step 2" = someAdvancedFunction2 (#"Step 1", ....),
#"Clever Step Name 3" = someVeryAdvancedFunction3 (#"Nice Step 2", ....),
#"beautiful Step 4" = someSmartCode4 (#"Clever Step Name 3", ....),
Result = someGeniousCode5 (#"beautiful Step 4", ....),
in
Result
It would be nice to use this syntax:
let
Source = someLoadDataFunction(...),
#"Step 1" = someFunction1 (#, ....),
#"Nice Step 2" = someAdvancedFunction2 (#, ....),
#"Clever Step Name 3" = someVeryAdvancedFunction3 (#, ....),
#"beautiful Step 4" = someSmartCode4 (#, ....),
Result = someGeniousCode5 (#, ....),
in
Result

Is it possible to edit posts?
