Data editor
Overview
The data editor provides a user interface for working with table data. In the data editor, you can sort, filter, add, edit and remove the data as well as perform other, associated tasks.
Value editor
Value editor is a separate editor where you can edit data that is stored in the cell. To open Value editor, in the cell context menu select Open in Value Editor.
To edit the value in Value editor, do the following:
To start a new line, press Enter.
To enter the value, press Ctrl+Enter.
To restore an initial value and quit the editing mode, press Escape.
To enable soft wrap in the editor by clicking the Toggle Soft-Wrap button .
If you store one-line JSON in a cell, you can click the Toggle Formatting icon. This action formats one-line XML and JSON strings.
Also, you can preview images in the value editor.
Note that to leverage the performance issues, the default LOB size is limited to 1024 bytes. It means that only 1024 bytes are loaded to the table editor. To increase this size and view larger images, open settings by pressing Ctrl+Alt+S, navigate to Maximum number of bytes loaded per value option.

Bundled scripts are located in Scratches and Consoles | Extensions | Database Tools and SQL | data | aggregators. To add your own aggregator, place your script to the aggregators directory.
