Improve scripting language
The expression language leaves much to desire, especially when working with object models. The most irritating is the iif function that evaluates all expressions, that forces to write user functions every time a method on an optional object should be called.
Ideally the scripting/expression engine is based on c# and/or vb compiler.

Hello Rick,

In case of a NULL field, you can still use the object properties and this expression should work properly: = IIF(Fields.Property is NULL, "Undefined", Fields.Property.Description).

We have implemented the same behavior when it comes to optional object methods in order to improve our expression engine.
