Bug Fix: Formula_For_Quantity more permissive

We recently adapted the Formula_For_Quantity functions to prevent wrong formulas like 1[QEVAL] which translated into 112 if QEVAL was 12. For this purpose we allowed only the following characters before and after brackets:

"=", "+", "-", "*", "/", "(", ")"

But this was not enough because some formulas like IF([VAR1]=1,[VAR2],[VAR3]) were no longer accepted. Now we allow the followings before and after brackets in a formula:

"=", "+", "-", "*", "/", "(", ")", ",", "<", ">"

Change: Can no longer use the solver in child tasks of links

The solver (F2) allowed in the child tasks of links was confusing because it operates on the quantities of the parent task (the child tasks are virtual) so you saw the quantities of the child task but the solved displayed those of the parent task. To avoid confusion, it’s no longer possible to call the solver from a child task, if you try to do it, you’ll get a warning and if you click OK, you’ll get to the parent task automatically.
