Idea - Automatically set "Is Active Attribute" of Entity (configuration) when an attribute named Is_Active or IsActive is created.

Automatically set "Is Active Attribute" of Entity (configuration) when an attribute named Is_Active or IsActive is created.

On our Radar

Backend

So that's pretty much what's on the title. If I create an attribute named Is_Active or IsActive (which will, by default, be a boolean value), set that as the "Is Active Attribute" property of the entity.

Maybe the same for the Order By - if we create an attribute named Order.

For Label, it doesn't seem very straightforward so I'll keep that out :)

If Outsystems did implemented this, then in your master list screen scaffolding, you should remove is_active filter from aggregate in preparation.

Otherwise, you cannot re-activate inactive record.

Why?

For System.User entity, when you do the master list screen scaffolding, the filter is there by default - which is the behavior that I would really like to have without having me to explicitly set the Is_Active attribute on entities. If you want to do a more complete scenario, you can always add more filters or change default behaviors.

Instead of adding the attribute then associating it, go to the advanced properties of the entity and click "Add a new Attribute"

The value proposition is to avoid going into the advanced properties of the entity.

I also complement this suggestion so that whenever the IsActive attribute of a table is identified, the Default Value is changed to True.

It is common for developers to forget to change the default value of this attribute. And I believe that whenever a new record is created, the most common is that this record starts Active.
