Add conditional line numbers to Expression Assistant
Line numbers are now displayed in the Expression Assistant only if your current expression has a \n in it. This ensures the initial experience (common) not bloated by line numbers, but provides line numbers when in multi-line functions. If you have multi-line and switch to single-line, the line numbers will remain.

| Bug |
Fix "Reset on edit" for virtual columns
Removes any Reset on edit behavior for virtual columns because it creates odd behavior in the client. Since it's supposed to be impossible for this to happen, because we don't allow the app creator to enable Reset on edit for virtual columns, this change should only affect the corrupted apps.
New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 50% paid users.

Limited security filter support in Quick sync (Preview)
Simple security filters that rely on row-scoped calculations (such as value comparisons) or user settings are supported for use with Quick sync. More complex security filters, for example those that rely on values from referenced tables, virtual columns, and other data outside the scope of the row, are not currently supported.
