New expression dialog

Adding new expressions to the list of expressions that should be dynamically evaluated is performed via a dialog.


context: Current feature

context: As object

The first part in the dialog makes it possible to select the context of the expression.

The second part prompts for the expression itself. This field supports arguments, dot calls and operators (to a certain extent), but does not support creation expressions, agents or static calls (as in "feature {MY_CLASS}.my_feature"). Genericity is partially supported. Despite these limitations, we believe the expression evaluation tool should provide you with a lot of useful functionality.
