【Charts】 Suggestion: Undo/Back Button for Calculation Editing

I have also occasionally encountered an issue where the calculation formula suddenly disappears.

Since it only happens intermittently and is not reproducible, it is difficult to explain or demonstrate it with a video or other evidence. However, when it does occur, it takes a considerable amount of time and effort to restore the formula.

Having an undo or back function would serve as a safety net in such situations and would greatly improve usability. I would really appreciate your consideration of this feature.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for sharing your idea with us! I've forwarded your suggestion to the relevant product manager, who will contact you for further details.

Best regards,

Andreea.

Hi Kubota, and thanks Shun for the added detail.

There are really two things here, and both are useful for us.

First, the undo/back function. You're right that Charts doesn't currently let you step back during calculation editing, and we can see why that hurts most on complex calculations where rebuilding is costly. It's a reasonable ask and we've noted it.

Second, and more urgent, is the calculation source disappearing mid edit. That reads like a defect rather than a missing feature, and an undo button would be a safety net over the top of it rather than a fix. If either of you can share anything about when it happens (a particular calculation type, browser, or a rough sense of what you were doing just before), even without a clean reproduction, that would genuinely help us track it down. 

Appreciate you both raising this.
