Derived Column NEEDS An Editor Window!

The "window" if you call it that to enter in complex derived column logic is painful (at best). At a minimum, the entry line should (just like in the cases where SQL is entered into a ole db command, sql exec etc) open a editor window to allow you to work in something other than a single long line.

In addition, allowing for cr/lf in the text would then allow the text to be formated/indented in meaninful ways. The issue now, once you nest a few statements together, it get VERY confusing and not easy to read since the whole thing is required to be on a single line.


(This same issue exists with line in which you need to enter the text in a conditional split).

THANKS!
