Using OutSystems Semantic Search for community pages such as Forums, Ideas, and Forge brings a step change in how community members discover knowledge and reusable assets across the ecosystem. Traditional keyword search relies on exact matches, which often leads to incomplete or irrelevant results, especially in large content bases like community discussions, ideas and Forge components. Semantic Search, by contrast, understands intent and context, allowing users to find relevant answers even when terminology differs from how content was originally written. For the OutSystems community, this has a few clear benefits. First, it significantly improves discoverability. Community members can find the right forum threads, idea submissions, or Forge components without needing to know the exact naming or tags used by the author. This reduces friction and increases successful self-service. Second, it increases reuse and reduces duplication. Better search results mean developers are more likely to find existing Forge components instead of rebuilding similar functionality, and more likely to engage with existing Ideas rather than creating duplicates. Third, it improves community engagement quality. When users quickly find relevant discussions or solutions, they are more likely to contribute back, vote on Ideas, or refine existing answers instead of starting new fragmented threads. Finally, it future-proofs the community knowledge base. As content volume grows, semantic understanding scales far better than keyword-based approaches, ensuring that search quality does not degrade over time. In short, Semantic Search turns the community from a static repository into an intelligent discovery layer, making knowledge, ideas, and reusable components easier to access, reuse, and extend.

I propose the development of the Outsystems Advisor , a tool designed to ensure adherence to Outsystems best practices. This solution will provide personalized recommendations to optimize deployments across five key pillars : Cost , Security, Reliability, Operational Excellence, and Performance.

I have a scenario where I need to search multiple modules so each time I search I open the module and then search and option so its time taking, my suggestion is if I search module Camera I select it and search another module like Common so it open only Common module. This would be solved by simply keeping like multi select user search for the module and selects the module he wants to open and then there a list presented below the selected modules with search box open until user done with selection and when user clicks on open then all selected modules should open. I think that would be a much easier UX, both to implement and to present to the user.

 Problem When working with complex structures, lists, aggregates, or data actions, developers often need to reuse a full variable path. Today, this usually requires manually navigating the data tree and rewriting the reference. How this suggestion can help A simple “Copy Full Reference” option would improve productivity and reduce typing mistakes, especially in large Reactive applications with complex data models. Implementation example Right-click on any variable, attribute, or structure field and select: Copy Full Reference Example output: GetRequestById.List.Current.Request.Approver.Name This could work inside Assigns, Expressions, Conditions, Client Actions, and Server Actions.

Remove the GetUserId() in Client Actions and Screens to prevent client-side tampering. When developers use GetUserId() on the client side (Reactive/Mobile), that value is compiled into JavaScript. Anyone can open the browser developer tools, manipulate that ID, and potentially spoof another user. AI Mentor Studio already flags client-side GetUserId() as a security vulnerability because browser JavaScript can be manipulated. Instead of detecting this flaw later, OutSystems should remove GetUserId() from Client Actions and Screens entirely. By making it unavailable on the client side, new developers will be forced to use secure server-side session checks from day one. This shifts the platform from detecting vulnerabilities to preventing them, saving time on refactoring and ensuring apps are secure by design.

A centralized Developer Cheat Sheet for OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC) would greatly help both new and experienced developers quickly understand and adopt the platform. Similar to the existing O11 cheat sheet, this should provide a concise overview of key ODC concepts, architecture, development flow, best practices, and differences from O11. It would serve as a quick reference guide to help developers ramp up faster and become productive in ODC projects with minimal learning curve. This resource would be especially useful for: New developers getting started with ODC Experienced O11 developers transitioning to ODC Teams looking for a quick refresher on core concepts Providing such a cheat sheet would improve onboarding efficiency, reduce confusion, and accelerate project delivery within the ODC ecosystem.

Ai mentor should have the same capability of the new mentor in odc service studio, that could allow us not only observe the Tech Debt but take immediate action and solve It using the chat like mentor to prompt and tweek the findings!

Hi Outsystems teams, Since the OS charing static entity for 1 AO, to save some cost for clients, in many projects, we hardly use static-entity even though it should use Static-entity for many purposes. We need to use alternative ways to implement the static concept, like using structure, hardcode... This led the development become more complex in design, implement, and more hard-code used, but we can't spend 1 AO for just 5 records stored in static-entity like status, type, etc... Actually many projects opened just to Delete all static entity from the code to save cost. From begining we've learnt how to use Static entity, and in real project we need to learn how to not use Static entity to save AO, this make static entity very dead. Can Outsystems consider to lower the price of AO somehow like count it 1 AO = 3 or 4 static entity, or consider make it free if there are < 10 record store in static entity, this would be a great thing for Outsystems developers and clients. Thanks :)

Be able to create a unit test for a Server / Service / Client (?) / Screen (?) action that shall be executed without developer intervention, for regression purposes.

Since we have the 1-Click Publish with Message, it would be great if we can set by default in settings, where Mentor to generate the message for us based on the changes made from previously published version.
