Seeing Column Filters applied in Context Transition - the Debugger #1544
-
|
In the below screenshot, is it possible to see what the 6 column filters that are being applied (see Evaluation Context window) due to context transition are? Double-clicking does nothing. I know if I know the columns I can set up a Watch on them using FILTERS() but I have to know the columns in advance to do that.

Hi @edhans 
This brings up a dialog showing the table that's being iterated, which usually (but not always) contains the combination of columns that are being transitioned to column filters: 
But you raise a good point - it would be super helpful if the debugger provided an easy way to see exactly which columns are filtered at any point while debugging (with or without a context transition). We'll consider how best to go about that. |

Ahhh... I see that now. The magnifying glass isn't there unless you click on the number in the Row cell you are pointing to. Very helpful. Thanks. |

Hi @edhans
While not exactly what you're asking for, you can inspect the row context(s) prior to the context transition by clicking on the magnifying glass that appears next to the row counter:
