View expressions in version history view

This is probably a broader request to apply this to all read-only views.

I had to go into my version history to look at an older version of an expression. When I brought up the older version of the app it was, as expected, in read-only mode. Because of this, I could see only the first few characters of the expression that I wanted. I couldn’t find a way to view it at all, and had to rebuild from memory.

Please add the ability to view expressions when looking at a previous version.

In hindsight, I likely could have restored the old version completely, extracted the expression, then restored the latest version. The request stands, though; I shouldn’t have to do all that just to get at an old expression. Similarly, if I’m looking at someone else’s app, it would be nice to look inside it without having to make a local copy.

Try double- or triple-clicking on the expression, then cutting and pasting it somewhere. That works in some contexts.

In the bot context I was interested in, triple-click works.

In an action context, which I just tried, clicking on the expression brings up the Expression Assistant in read-only mode with the entire expression visible. So there’s an inconsistency that needs to be addressed.
