editing the AML syntax of a table directly by right-clicking on the table."

[bumble-tw]

"Currently, to edit a table, I need to search for the table name in 'Update your schema' before I can make any edits. For a better user experience, it would be much more convenient if I could simply right-click on the desired table in the drawing area and have an 'Edit AML syntax' window pop up!"

Hi @nick1092387456

Thanks for reaching out. Indeed the edit AML experience if far from great and needs to be improved!
Recently an other user suggested this on Slack:

When right clicking on a column, I want to "edit in AML" and have that open the editor and jump to the right spot.
It think both solutions are great, with their own challenges.

What you suggest would require to find the table in the AML and replace it, with some painful edge cases like if it's not in any AML or in several ones...
The just to definition solution would need a real editor, not just a simple textarea, which was challenging to dynamically integrate with Elm.

In any way, thanks for the heads up, will investigate.
If you have knowledge or directions to help on this, would be happy to discuss ;)
