ES6 Flag features enabled in Thingworx Rhino

ES6 Flag features enabled in Thingworx Rhino

1. What version of Thingworx are you currently running?
9.2


2. Describe the problem you are trying to solve. Please include detailed documentation such as screenshots, images or video.
 ThingWorx uses Rhino Javascript 1.7.11, and supports a number of ECMAScript ES6/ES2015 features. Some features like "set", could work but " requires VERSION_ES6 flag”. It would be great to have the option to enable this flag in the Thingworx settings.

3. What business value would your suggestion represent for your organization?
Ability to use newer Javascript functions that will speed up the development.

We are evaluating updates to Rhino and other JavaScript engines in future versions of the platform.

I agree it would be awesome to be able to use modern JS conventions like string templates and property shorthand.

This would be very useful since there are ES6 features (such as Promises) that would enhance script functionality in ThingWorx. Also, is it possible to publish a document describing how to upgrade to the latest Rhino version in ThingWorx?
