Original Title was: Add Flag or mark in transformers for visual identification of debugged/updated parameters


Summary:

I suggest the implementation of a visual mark (icon) or color usage for pinpoint/ identify transformers visually in workbench canvas that were revised/ updated by user/ workspace creator when performong a debug or are developing a certain workspace.

The need:

Often a user become confuse or "lost" in his own workspace when performing debugg action or re-parametrize. This is specially sensible when the workspace contains dozens, if not a couple of hundred transformers.

The proposal.

Could be included/ turn on a visual flag (similar to cashed inspection) or option to change transformer colour by user in order to identify a certain transformer that was already revised and is setted up as the user intends that it stays. This will allow for the user on a very easy and effective way to quickly identify which is the part of the workspace7 transformers already "worked" and the remaining ones, supporting efforts of debugging actions.

The benefict.

- significant gain of time and focus when restart a workspace debugg action;

- visual- easy to understand what is done and what is pending when workspace goes from one user to another to continue the work.
