String Manipulation Limitations: Ensure a comprehensive suite of string manipulation functions.

2. String Manipulation Limitations:

Challenge: A critical lack of easily accessible and robust string manipulation functions (e.g., `SubString`, `IndexOf`, `Replace`, `Trim`, `Split`) within the Form Calculation widget. This makes parsing combined strings (like addresses or coordinates) extremely cumbersome or impossible without resorting to highly constrained workarounds (like fixed-index substrings based on geographic limitations).

Impact: This limitation significantly increases development time and complexity for common data transformation tasks.

Suggested Enhancements & Solution:

Rich String Functions: Ensure a comprehensive suite of string manipulation functions (`SubString`, `IndexOf`, `Replace`, `Trim`, `Split`, `Length`, `ToUpperCase`, `ToLowerCase`, etc.) are available, clearly documented, and easily accessible within the Form Calculation widget. Consider adding RegEx capabilities for advanced users.
