I am currently trying to arrange some datum planes, lines and points for a part to get all my dimensions and distances correct and still be able to tweak parameters afterwards with the help of the spreadsheet feature and expressions but unfortunately I cannot figure out how to make the roll angle of a plane be derived from an expression instead of a hardcoded number (See screenshot)
The Yaw, Pitch and Roll angles do not have this little blue symbol on them to enter expressions. Is it already planned to implement them later or is there another way to achieve this (without having to insert additional datum lines or points and trigonometric functions)?

Re: [0.17] Using expressions for datum plane angles
It is not possible to set expressions in the dialog, but you can get an expression if only one of the angles is nonzero (then, you can set an expression to superPlacement's Angle property of the datum plane)
