One of the worst problems is when literals are hard coded. It is really bad for maintainability, you have to change them one by one and you can never know if you have changed them all. I would like it if there was a way to have an overview of all the places where hard coded strings are used for coding. For example if a text is used in an if-statement or together with an '=' mark it as a finding.

I know that for the purposes of the existing master class, the exercise fits perfectly, but it is done in version 9 and I think it should be upgraded to version 11. Just as it would be useful for everyone to have other exercises that cover more business process topics.Being a topic where there are so many topics to learn, it would be helpful to add more thematic content with more exercises for your learning to be bigger.Cheers,Nuno Verdasca

Service studio's messages should have a timestamp. When we publish an eSpace and we make some changes and then save it, we can't know by the messages list if we already published it or not.

Let's say that I want to sync Tickets, Ticket Types, Users and Queues. Tickets and Ticket Types are connected, so I want to join them in a first sync. Users and Queues are related, so I want to join them in a second sync. But, I want both syncs to start at the same time, so that I cut in half the processing time. Right now, even though the description of the TriggerOfflineDataSync action clearly states "Action where you can invoke OfflineDataSync asynchronously", the syncs run one after the other, as you can see in the browser network tab. Some of the syncs rely on endpoints that could take some time to respond, so not doing this concurrently makes our apps feel slow. Users will have to wait extra time to have data available to start working.

When looking for components in the forge, a big "green flag" is the "trusted" badge. Right now, from the 7033 components available, only 63 are trusted (<1%). It seems to me that the community would greatly benefit from more trusted components. From my experience, asset reviews are not being conducted - I have assets awaiting review for more than a year, and I'm sure people have been waiting a lot longer. I see multiple benefits from OutSystems dedicating more resources to the asset review process: More trustworthy components Feedback loop - developers will learn how to build better components Incentivization - developers will know that getting the trusted badge is a possibility and will produce higher quality assets Etc.

here are the way if we want to create the pagination logic by the help of local varibles

We need fine-grained control over indexes. There are things like "fill factor" which we can set through SQL Management Studio, but we cannot set through Service Studio. This is a problem for 3 reasons: 1. Who knows when a deploy will wipe it out? 2. Customers on the OutSystems cloud do not have access to the DB to add it. 3. We love to manage everything through proper OutSystems tools! J.Ja

Breaking into tech is tough, especially for entry and mid-level developers who need experience but struggle to gain it without opportunities. What if we created a community-driven challenge where developers build real, useful applications or Forge components that benefit the OutSystems ecosystem while advancing their careers? How It Works Participants can compete solo or in teams, allowing both independent developers and collaborative groups to showcase their skills. Categories include: Application Development – Build fully functional apps that solve real-world problems. Forge Components – Create reusable components that improve development efficiency. UI/UX Enhancements – Design intuitive, accessible interfaces that elevate user experience. The event fosters friendly competition, networking, and hands-on learning. Winners (or standout contributors) receive certification vouchers, accelerating their careers. Why It Matters Bridges the experience gap: In the US, it's difficult to find work without prior experience—this provides tangible projects to showcase. Boosts OutSystems adoption: By targeting aspiring tech professionals, this event could introduce new talent to the platform and generate buzz in the job market. Grows the Forge & community: High-quality contributions enhance the OutSystems ecosystem, making it easier for everyone to build better apps. Additional Challenge Features Mentor guidance from experienced OutSystems developers. Themed challenges (e.g., accessibility, AI integration, automation). Judging criteria based on innovation, impact, usability, and scalability. This initiative could be a game-changer for developers looking to break into tech while also strengthening the OutSystems brand and community resources. Would love to hear thoughts from the community on this!

Hello. I believe that we could have a new option to S ort by on OutSystems Forge: Component Creator and this option could be send to OutSystems Profile of the OutSystems Developer . Best Regards, Paulo Russo .

In an Outsystems project we find ourselves building in an application in the middle of a landscape where communication with web services is not always there. This situation makes it very difficult to test a complete flow since dependencies of other systems are quite often down.In order to surpass this situation making the application more independent for testing purposes, the idea is to try to have a module with a mock of those services and just changing the entry point on DEV / TST environment to make it work.The problem is the external parties' web services have hyphens ("-") on the URL path of the web methods and when we are creating the mock service to expose, Service Studio considers the "-" an illegal character.
