Is there an external meta editor?
Is there an external meta editor?
I would love to work on these and tweak stuff with my downtime at work since I cannot run AC there.

There have been several attempts, but nothing that was worth using or fully functional. And that was all before the introduction of expressions.
If you want to take a stab at it, or know someone who does, the Vtank profile file format is as follows

----
Table Count
[Tables]
--Tables are:--
Table Name
Column Count
[Column Names]
[Is column indexed? y/n]
Record count
[Records]
--Records are:--
- --Fields are:--
Data type code
Value
----------------
Data type codes options are:
d: double
i: integer
u: unsigned integer
f: float
s: string
b: boolean
0: unassigned (null)
ba: length-prefixed ascii blob (this is for strings that might contain a newline)
TABLE: a nested database table, encoded the same as above.
Indexing does not change anything in the file, it just tells the plugin that when the file is loaded it should build a runtime index for that column. Indexed columns cannot have duplicates.
Internally, condition and action meta classes are asked to save and they return a dbfield. For simple ones, it is a single value. For others, it is a table containing multiple options.
