Yes, though we have been very busy with work and travel lately.
I am trying to play catch up with support now.

I assume you are talking about the field selector that pops up for formulas 
like the attached?

WHat is the pain that you are having? Is it that you have to find the band, 
open the tree node and select the field for
each operand?
How would your multiple band select work here?
