"Ctrl+Shift+/" to add a block comment in expression and interface rules stopped working in 17.2. Is there a new keyboard shortcut for achieving this. "Ctrl+/" just toggles selected text to a comment. If selected text spread across multiple lines, "Ctrl+/" toggles individual lines explicitly to comment instead of commenting out the entire block.
"Ctrl+Shift+/" used to work in "17.1-" and was very helpful. Please suggest.

In 17.1 and prior versions, any keyboard shortcuts that were not listed in the documentation were not supported (see docs.appian.com/.../Expressions.html for a full list). All keyboard shortcuts on that list were preserved and many more were added in 17.2. That said, this would be a good enhancement so I'll put it on the backlog for future consideration. I am curious as to why the comment shortcut that is in 17.2 is not sufficient, though. Is it simply a personal preference of not wanting the comments on separate lines, or have you noticed an actual difference in behavior? Thanks for the feedback!
I think it's really helpful for debugging. If you have the following line:
if( and( .... several conditions ...), ... true branch ... , ... false branch ...)
Maybe you just want to quickly go through one of the two branches, so you highlight the complex and, hit the shortcut to comment it out, and add either true or false.
true
false
There are many other cases, but that's one that I've run into often.
