YAS!
What would be exceptionally nice is if you could port more of the expression editing we're used to from the expression editor right there into the Process Modeler.
Indentation, browsing the domains and function list, shortcut keys, color highlighting.
It would be absolutely AMAZING if we could attach unit test cases to our script tasks. Process models remain the biggest objects we can't do TDD on so well. (Yes, you can trade all of these inputs for Expression Rules that the script tasks call, but it's not the same). It would be very nice if we could put test cases on XOR gates too.
David & Mike, These are both really good ideas. Thank you for sharing!

Interesting idea, but this seems like a monumental effort to implement. OTOH i strongly agree that it'd be nice if PM expression edit boxes had more of the features of expression edit boxes in other places of the system, like autocomplete, formatting, control-clickability, etc. And *at least* allowing us to save (i.e. task instance names) with multi-line expressions.
The magic wand itself could be updated to not add as many lines as possible, but with more balanced rules for generating formatting a little closer to what a developer would create.
For instance, you wouldn't need to create 3 separate lines for the parenthesis, the one rule input, then the next parenthesis. Leaving all rules with only 1 input a single line would be a good addition.
yes, this is my biggest pet peeve with the auto-formatting tool. Also that it destroys *all* blank lines, when sometimes it's necessary to have some breathing room in your expression.

Wow, that all sounds so familiar... hmm...
Of course, just a Spambot...
