Add Hint or UI Option for "Not Equal" Condition

Feature Ideas
1

I've been required to use the formula-based "not equal" condition (for {if} statement) instead of a built-in operator (like != in most languages). I tried !, !=, and not, but none of them worked.

Two suggestions to improve this:

  1. When a user types != (the most intuitive option for many of us), show a hint or autocomplete suggestion explaining the correct way to express "not equal" in the formula.
  2. Alternatively (or additionally), add a clearly visible "Not equal" button or option in the UI (e.g. into formula submenu) so users can apply this condition without guessing the correct syntax.

Hi Sergi,

Thank you for your post; that is a great suggestion! Information on formula syntax is currently outlined in our formula reference in the documentation, but I agree having a small guide or button integrated into the command itself could be useful.

We'll look into this further.

Best regards,
Alexander
