Comments: add a Comments property to Column P...

Comments: add a Comments property to Column Properties where we can add comments about that column, its expressions, conditions etc? Probably more straightforward, less likely to break the expression parser and less intimidating to non-experts than comments sprinkled throughout the expressions (which I see has already been mentioned here).

This is distinct from the Description property. It would not be seen by the user.

Hi @praveen, how is this going? Thanks in advance for the help.

Fantastic, thanks @praveen!

How do you add regular comments directly in the expression? Thx

Not possible.

Iโ€™ve taken to something like this to make it work:

IF(true=false, โ€œMy comments hereโ€,
{my original formula here})

Say I had a date column, and I wanted to include some comments:

IF(true=false, DATE(โ€œMy comments hereโ€),
{my original formula here})

Thankfully we have the type forcing formulas, so we can get away with hacks like this now.
