Great features so far! Really wanted to make use of the "Analyze fields" feature which does not seem to support our custom object. This object is also somewhat a managed object created by our partner organization. The error message I receive is the following. "Error describing object 'Object_Name__c'. It may only be accessible from a newer version of the API or you may not have meta data api access. Error message: The requested resource does not exist." Is there a workaround for this?

Great extension! I love it and use it almost on a daily basis. Can't imagine life without it now! If I can make one suggestion though, it would be to not have the formula editor open in a separate window when trying to write a formula in flow. If I'm making a formula for my flow's start condition or if I'm making a formula for a variable/resource, the only option I have is for the formula editor to open in a separate window. I would love if it kept the formula editor confined to the same window. It functions like that already for custom formula fields in object manager, I just wish it did the same for flow.

This is a very, very helpful extension when it comes to editing any formulas. I've used other formula formatting extensions before, but this one is definitely more robusts and makes searching and adding fields a breeze once you know how. My only complaint is that it seems to drastically slow down certain parts of Salesforce's Setup area especially in Flows (especially when adding fields inside of an element). I even went through and disabled all of my extensions and enabled them oneat a time to narrow it down to this extension causing the issues. At this point, I just do all of my automation work in incognito with that extension disabled. If this could be fixed, this would be a 5-star extension, without a doubt!
