Comments in Formulas and No (or more) Char limit in Module Notes

Formula section should have method to capture "comments" for future ref.

Additionally, Notes section in module/lineitem should have more chars limit than current of 250 chars. Sometimes the need to copy formula in Notes won't meet due to this restriction..

I have raised similar in the past. Years ago i worked with diff tech that allowed a pop-up text to display when a user hovered on a field. This was done using this syntax in the formula cell

//enter pop-up text

This can tell user what the code does, where it goes or just a tip specific to that cell.

Let's support the idea if you would like such functionality should be available..

Add a "Comments" or "Notes" field in each recipe, allowing users to record comments cookie clicker, rationale, or additional information.

@temple run 2: Maybe it should change to allow comments in the formula section and increase the character limit for notes are practical suggestions that could greatly enhance usability and documentation within Anaplan :< same problems

Allow non-WSAs to view source module name in UX.
When a user clicks the ellipsis in a grid card they should be able to see the name of the source module. This empowers end users with the ability to connect to the source data they see in the UX to the module in the backend. It also enables end users to pull the data into Google Sheets or Excel.
A function that identifies all saved views which filters are broken
I would like the function to identify all saved views which filters are broken(error).
Add feature to “Use Account Style Drilling” in AnaplanXL Grids
This feature to display children above the parent when drilling in is available in AnaplanXL freeform but not grids. This would be a useful feature in Grids as well. As a user, I would expect to have same/similar functionality between Grids and Freeform.
