Workflows - Preview query builder diagrams without opening the query builder

Currently in the workflow editor when you click on a node that uses a Query, you see Query JSON in the right panel with no other indication of what the Query is doing. This makes it very difficult to see what a workflow is doing from the main overview. It would be better to display a preview of the AQS builder view on the main screen or somewhere else accessible when clicking on a node using it.

    Hi Adam, Thanks for the idea. We agree that the current AQS code preview isn't ideal and we're looking at ways to make this more succinct/useful at a glance. Although a preview of the AQS builder graph/diagram view might be possible, we think it may only be practical for fairly simple queries with larger diagrams being harder to read in this smaller format. We'll hang on to your idea for now but look out for changes we plan to make soon to remove the code preview to save space.
