Add Indicator For Instances Containing Attributes in The Explorer Window

As a Roblox developer it is currently too hard to locate Instances containing attributes within Roblox Studio.

This is a major bottleneck in using Attributes, especially in collaborative/team environments.

Where this causes issues:

  • Configuring attributes present on free models (user may not even know they exist).

  • Locating models that need configuration in an unfamiliar workspace (I commonly run into this when working with 3rd parties like map designers who need to configure some part of the map).

  • Quickly locating and configuring attributes on an instance in a sea of similar looking instances.

Proposed Solution:

This can easily be solved via some sort of indicator being presented whenever an instance contains attributes.

If this issue is addressed, it will improve the development experience for many users, allowing for easier collaboration and manipulation of attributes.

This could allow me and other developers to more easily delegate the configuring of instances via attributes to those less familiar with their location in-game (like map designers, builders, project managers & even new developers dragging in free models).
