[Vtigercrm-developers] questions about merge requests

[Angelo Paglialonga]

Thank you Alan, 
I’ll add some use cases to those tickets as you suggest.

About string manipulation, Why should I copy paste and modify yet another custom function just to replace php standard preg_replace? In my opinion it should be available as an expression function instead.

We could reuse custom functions in a faster way, if we could just add parameters in workflow interface and it would be awesome to reuse custom functions inside expressions too. 
I suppose this could be a smarter and faster way of working.
What do you think?
