Reviews & Comments of Salesforce.com Enhanced Formula Editor chrome extension

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 It may only be accessible from a newer version of the API or you may not have meta data api access.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!

I cannot live my SFDC admin life without this extension. The enhancements added to it like analyzing fields, testing value on a record and auto-checking syntax make it even better!

This extension is the bees knees for formula editing. Showing the matching parentheses is key and makes reading formulas much easier.

Love love love this extension. So incredibly handy. Thank you Kyle.

Purchased already using Google now asking me to purchase again for $20. Look for the free version it works just as good.

Had high hopes, but doesn't seem to come up when I click the extension.

One of my FAVORITE extensions, helps with structuring your formulas correctly. I'm always missing something, and this tools saves so much time when debugging syntax errors.

Great extension. The Format functionality saves us so much time when trying to clean up or visualise long formulas. The parenthesis matching is also very helpful to debug and try and find issues in the formulas.

Formula editor is a very handy add-on that offers additional functionality that is missing in the standard Salesforce formula editor. I appreciate Kyle's professional approach really very much, as he responded promptly to my suggestion for improvement, and nearly in real time did find a solution, which was perfectly fitting. It works on formulas on Fields, Validation rules, Process builder, and Flows. I can only recommend this add-on as a very useful tool for every Salesforce administrator.

Can't write formulas without it! Probably the most used Salesforce extension for me. Sad the price went up, but since I can't live without it, the price is still minimal IMO. I wish this also worked with writing formulas directly in Process Builder or Flows, though.

HUGE time-saver! Works like a dream. Totally under-priced. Wish I had known about this extension a looooong time ago!

Awesome! Great tool and makes writing formulas so much easier!

Such a great extension! It's super useful for matching up parentheses on complicated formulas.

Love it!

Love this extension! Night and Day from the standard editor.

I have paid for it and installed it and its not working at all. Nowhere to go for help. I need help asap

It works, thank you!

The parentheses matcher helps so much.

I enjoy all the functionality -but my screen displays the enhanced editor under the standard sf editor. Thus when checking syntax sf always checks the standard editor and ignores my work in the enhanced editor, also saving causing the standard to overwrite the data in the enhanced editor : (

I have alot of hope for this Chrome extension but it does not appear when I'm in any sort of formula editor. Not sure how to activate that. Its been added to my chrome and allowed in incognito. Does not work in regular or incognito

I highly appreciate the functionality this extension provides. It is acts a very lightweight IDE to troubleshoot complex formulas, as well highlighting nested parenthesis and keywords. The only improvement I was would suggest is to work with the debugging tool, as I have to turn off the extension to find the error temporarily.

Makes formula building so much easier.

A splash screen comes up when you first go in which cannot be closed on my laptop. Maybe if I were on a bigger monitor it would work, but this is something basic which should have been caught.

So much easier than cutting and pasting into an external editor. Thanks.

Not sure why Salesforce hasn't paid you millions and incorporated directly into the product.

Thank you for creating such a useful extension! I featured your extension on my blog, on a post on my favorite Chrome Extensions for Salesforce: http://www.forcethe.cloud/2016/07/5-must-have-chrome-extensions-for.html

This is simply incredible!

Super helpful.

Nifty little add in so I don't have to pull my formulas into the IDE.

It works OK. It doesn’t pair up the parenthesis in different colours (like Notepad ++ does) which would be the main benefit of having it. Still much better than native Salesforce so thank you.

While this may not be perfect, it is light years ahead of what the native formula builder provides. It has already helped me when creating some pretty complicated validation rules. A+ on finding the syntax errors where they show themselves.

Hi Kyle, great job on this product! It is really helpful. We use a lot of complex formulas in our SFDC org and as a senior business systems analyst this is priceless. Is it possible to add the "Load Field Details" button/functionality to the formula editor on Workflow Rule, Field Updates? This would make the product even better! Thank you for your consideration.

I find this so useful, especially when pairing up parentheses. Yes, it's annoying you can't use the insert field name/operator/function menus, but it is so easy to toggle the enhanced editor off (to insert the field etc) and on again using the little checkbox.

The fact that you can't insert fields is Killer, but great to enable when having a problem.

Extremely useful. Would like a word wrap option and I wish the cursor was darker. I often have trouble finding it.

Great, but inserting a field name and inserting a formula doesn't work for me. I have to copy paste the field name or copy paste the formula syntax into the editing box to get it to work. If this could be fixed it would be an easy 5 stars!

It is very Useful love the way it can color code and can recover if color coding get de-syncronized. Intuitive.

Really good job! Very user friendly now.
