Applied steps are not displayed after using advanced editor on desktop

[SoulCuber]

I am a beginning user. When I create a query on the desktop step-by-step, then the applied steps are listed one-by-one. However, after I use the advanced editor to create a new step, then the applied steps are no longer displayed. Is there a way to use the advanced editor and see the individual steps? Could anyone please give me some advice? Many thanks!

if your steps have disappeard, go to view -> Query settings and it should show you the steps

After adding some code to my advanced editor all my steps disappeared how do I get them back, I need to see those when I am troubleshooting because I name my steps.

The only reason individual steps would not show from handwritten code is that you are not actually writing the parts of your query as valid individual steps. You've either successfully written a single step with multiple functioning parts, or you've written nonfunctional code. To give any detailed help beyond that would require actually seeing the query code in question.

Hello,

I am having same issue but cannot find the error in the code (I am definetly NOT an expert. I added the last 7 lines starting with addedcustom1:

Many thanks KHorseman! I made a mistake in the query code which I missed to see.
