Sense Sept 2017 expression syntax check with DSE

rwunderlich — Wed, 23 Jul 2025 14:48:52 GMT

In Sense Desktop Sept 2017 (also June 2017) release, I note an issue in the syntax checker within the expression editor. If the expression contains a dollar sign expansion (DSE), the check message in the lower left corner will always say "OK" even when the expression is not ok. For example:

Sum({<Year={'$(vMaxYear)'}>}Sales)))))))))))))

will show as "OK"

Sum({<Beer={'$(zzz)'}>}whatever)

even though the fields "Beer" and "whatever", and the variable "zzz" do not exist.

Even this flags as "OK"

Sum($(hello world

Anyone else notice this or have information on the issue?
