- Next to the technical values, display values are now shown in the list of suggestions provided by the expression editor, allowing for a smooth selection.

1.4. Search in element in Blueriq Encore
When opening an editor from the search view, a panel is made available that can be expanded to show where in the element the occurrences were found. It is also possible to open a search panel using a button that is available in the toolbar of each editor. Multiple search panels can be opened, each with their own search query.
1.5. Validation report per editor in Blueriq Encore
When navigating from the project validation report, a Validations panel is now available to show the overview of reported errors and warnings within the editor itself, making it easier to locate where the error is reported. The panel can also be requested from the module selector popout by clicking on the error or warning icon in the list of modules.
1.6. Detailed insight into where a dependency is used in Blueriq Encore
When navigating from the dependencies panel, a Usages panel is made available to guide you towards all usages of the element that you navigated from. Similarly to search, this enables you to more easily find where in the element the usages occur.
