Enable the syntax editor plugin to use the syntax editor.
The syntax editor enables the following features for all script fields:
- JavaScript syntax coloring, indentation, line numbers, and automatic creation of closing braces and quotes
- Code editing functions
- Code syntax checking
- Script macros for common code shortcuts

The syntax editor can be disabled or enabled by modifying the glide.ui.javascript_editor property in the sys_properties.list. In addition, administrators can configure the syntax editor to show error and warning indicators next to a line of code that contains an error by modifying the glide.ui.syntax_editor.show_warnings_errors property. For information on the sys_properties.list, refer to Available system properties.
Note: Administrators can disable or enable the syntax editor for all users, regardless of user
preference.
