Hi all,

in the previous versions of node-red , while inside a jsonata expression editor, when you higlight a function, it used to bring the information related to the selected function reference without the need to go through the menu of functions, and find that function in the list. It was useful when I needed to double check the parameters,etc for the function. it would be nice to have this feature back.  
Thanks,

Still there just click cursor on function and you should get an enhanced function syntax and arguments.

aaha so this tooltip feature is the replacement.. looks good to me.  
thanks for highlighting that didnt notice it , was so used to just click on the function and expect the function reference at the bottom to change to the selected function..but that's cool still.  
thanks
