Show Formula Dependencies
Suggested by Scott Thompson – New – 1 Comments
It would be great if we could see the dependencies of a formula on the formula page. This is probably more handy with the Process Genie's but would be nice to see where the formula is used throughout the system. -

Provide intellisense when coding formulas
Suggested by – New – 0 Comments
It would be great to have intellisense when coding formulas. Let's take Visual Studio as a great target :) -
Add a description/comments/documentation field displayed prominently at the top of a formula
Suggested by Shawn Lautebach – New – 1 Comments
It would be verify useful to have a description/comments/documentation field that is at the top of a formula. With many formulas that are being worked on by different team members, knowing the goal, reason, description and/or documentation of what the North52 formula is doing would be great to have. -
Error Handling/Catch Exceptions
Suggested by Jason McNeil – New – 1 Comments
Perhaps this already exists in some form I haven't yet figured out, but it would be great to be able to either wrap a formula with a try/catch (or in Excel syntax an IFERROR function).
This could allow additional logic to take place if formulas/plugins/workflows throw exceptions, or at minimum present a more user friendly error message than "...there was an error in North 52..."
Even if it were a separate field on the formula entity such as "Friendly Error Message" or similar. Ideally you could even configure this with multiple languages with the right language error message provided to the user based on their language (similar to how Portals does that fit Titles, etc)
If I've missed something existing please let me know -
Add support for Xrm.Utility.confirmDialog
Suggested by – New – 0 Comments
There is the Alert() function for alertDialog to display a pop-up with an "OK" button, but it would be nice to also be able to access confirmDialog. Then we could execute one action if the user clicks "OK" and a different action if the user clicks "Cancel". -
Enhance the Syntax Check to be function and comment aware
Suggested by – New – 0 Comments
It would be very helpful if the Syntax Check validation functionality was: 1. Function aware i.e. validates that all required parameters exists 2. Did not include ' and ( ) in comments 3. Positions the cursor where the first failure occurs and/or says which line the error occured -
Allow the MinOf() and MaxOf() functions to accept more than 2 values

Allow formulas to trigger on the creation of a Plugin Trace Log
Suggested by Patrick Griffith – New – 0 Comments
I think it would be very helpful to be able to trigger North52 formulas on the creation of a new plugin trace log. Unfortunately Dynamics does not allow workflows to be triggered on this entity.
I know there's N52 Trace but I would use this more for exceptions being caused by Workflows, plugins and N52 formulas. Not just trace logs from N52 formulas.
