    Synchronize Data Functions with copy in library

    Once a data function is loaded into a DXP from a file, it is impossible to then synchronize/link that data function with a known identical copy in the library. Would be useful to be able to re-establish this link, once it is broken. (Each copy has...

    Python Data Function - Add Row Number

    Display row numbers for Python scripts in the Edit Script workspace. This is present in R data functions but I don't see it when writing a Python function. This is useful for debugging code with the referenced line numbers.
