New york has a few, nice things added for developers if you still work in the tool and not on some syncer.
This feature specifically is barely noted. Here's the link to the documentation.
However, it's so short I'll put the text here too;
HTML auto-suggestions
Edit HTML and Jelly scripts and define what is rendered when the page is displayed.
The script can contain either static XHTML or dynamically generated content that is defined as Jelly and can call script includes and UI macros.
JS Beautify
Format code by applying the proper indentation to the script.
Context menu
Enable the context menu options for script includes, Glide APIs, and tables in the JavaScript editor.
With the context menu options, your users can navigate to:\
- Script include definitions\
- Glide API documentation\
- System and custom table definitions and data
Well here I'm going to go over the them.
HTML auto-suggestions
Well this is a very overdue convenience. But at least it's here... Or it's allegedly here. When I tried it by going toa new UI page, modify the XML adding <div>test then starting to type </ nothing came up.. so maybe this isn't here.
JS Beautify
This isn't really clear that you apply you're own settings here. However you can. It's controlled via this property, glide.ui.syntax_editor.linter.eslint_config.
This appears to just take a eslint json config object. An example one would be like this;
{
"rules": {
"constructor-super": "warn",
"no-case-declarations": "warn",
"no-class-assign": "warn",
"no-compare-neg-zero": "warn",

}Feel free to read more up on eslint here on their docs site.
Also thanks Dominik Simunek for the info to look into this.
Context Menus for script fields
I noticed the context menu thing before I read about it. If you have a script include or client script where you invoke some script include, they now show up bold and italicized. If you right-click on anything like that, you'll get a few options;
- Show Documentation (which will bring you to docs.servicenow.com for that object)
- Show Definition (which will bring you to the table definition of the content)
- Show Data (which will bring you to the table list of data)
- Open Definition (which will bring you to the script include)
This might seem small but man, will this save me time.
