Currently it is possible to upload a binary file by editing the table. It would be interesting to be able to download the binary without having to create a screen with the download functions. Idea in the image below, in adding a download icon and being able to download this binary in any file.

When creating an aggregate with the PK, please set the Max Records default to 1.May sound a bit trivial, and this is just an idea from a code-quality point of view :-) making the developer aware that the property Max records need to have a value. Otherwise you might run into an Unlimited Result-set impacting your application in a negative way.

Recently I often have to merge changes to the older environment, unfortunately, because this process is exhausting. The target environment is way behind (which is basically the reason why we need to use merge), and so the merge dialog pre-selects everything in the source module (as the newer version), and I have to spend a lot of time simply unchecking all that, because usually I need to merge only few elements. A module can be big and there can be conflicts, which turns this into nightmare. The quickest way I know is to go down with arrow key and use space to select, but every time when it hits the conflict - the popup dialog requires mouse click. To make things worse, sometimes studio does automatic merge, and it's not always possible to unselect it. Then after spending around 20 minutes on this, I find that the action was incorrectly merged, and this means starting again. Anyway, this could be significantly easier if there was an option to select everything from either source or target, and then you would go and modify only the elements actually needed.

Today, AI Mentor (App Generator) is powerful when it comes to validating best practices, architecture, and quality of applications already developed in OutSystems. My proposal is to expand this capability so that the Mentor can read external source code (for example, from a Git repository, in languages such as Java, .NET, Node.js, Angular, etc.) and: Analyze the structure, business logic, integrations, and existing architecture patterns in the legacy code. Automatically suggest how this code could be rewritten in OutSystems, following modularization, security, and scalability best practices. Generate initial components (entities, actions, APIs, UI blocks) inside an OutSystems module as an acceleration base for migration. Value for the Community and Customers Accelerated migrations: companies with legacy systems could move to OutSystems much faster. Reduced risk: the process would become more predictable and auditable. Productivity: developers focus on evolution instead of manual migration work. Governance: the automatically generated application would already comply with AI Mentor’s best practices. Example Use Case Migrating a management system in .NET/SQL Server to OutSystems. AI Mentor connects to Git, reads the code, identifies entities, logic, and integrations, and suggests a skeleton in OutSystems that developers can refine. Expected Impact Disruption in the modernization process of legacy applications. Competitive advantage for OutSystems compared to other low-code platforms. Faster adoption of the platform by large enterprises with extensive legacy systems.

When i was attending the Quiz in courses then - The quiz does not have a timer , which allows unlimited time for each question. Quiz is not only about accuracy but also about speed and confidence. Suggestion - There must be a timer for every quiz. A timer makes the quiz more interactive and exciting.

I see this feature as a must-have on the concept of Build It Fast, Right, and For the Future!So I would like to start with an example:Imagine you need to create an action/function that given certain parameters it will return you a text, this action/function can be done in a client-side action/function (does not require server logic), but you need to use the same action in an asynchronous logic which will require a server-side action/function.With this, at the moment, you need to decide on two approaches, both with pros and cons:1 - You go for the code reusability approach, which is you implement a server-side action/function, and on the client-side, when needed you make a request to the server using this server-side action/function. So the benefit of this approach is that you have a centralized place to manage this action/function, however, you will perform server requests when they could be avoided.2 - You go for the more performant approach, which is, you implement a client-side action/function and you implement the same logic on a server-side action/function. The benefit of this one is that you will spare the requests towards the server when you are using the action/function in the client-side logic, but you will always have to maintain the logic in two places. The idea would be to create a folder in between Client Actions and Server Actions that could be called Hybrid Actions, and these actions could be used both as Client and Server actions, when it was used on the Client side it would behave as a client-side action and in server-side it would run as a server-action.I know that the code generated under the hoods is different, but it is there where OutSystems brings its maximum value by abstracting the developers of the high code layer :)

If you're writing expressions where you're comparing a certain attribute which happens to be a Foreign Key to a Static Entity, then Autocomplete (Ctrl+Space) could show a list of the possible values.Example:How it could be:

I would like to suggest an improvement to the "Apply Settings to the Factory" notification displayed in the Service Center when there are pending configurations. Currently, this notification only informs that changes need to be applied, without specifying who made the modification or what configuration was changed . This creates a lack of traceability, especially in collaborative environments where multiple people manage configurations, making it unclear who performed the last modification. Suggested Solution: Display the User – Add the name of the user who made the last pending change to the notification. Detail the Modified Configurations – Include a summary of the changes made or provide a link to a change history screen. This improvement would enhance transparency, security, and efficiency in platform management, preventing conflicts or unintended configuration applications. Best regards, Valdemiro Veigas

Following the original thread at https://www.outsystems.com/forums/discussion/5478/how-to-optimizing-disk-usage-by-temporary-asp-net-files/ , it would be a piece of mind having this automated cleanup built-in in the Platform Server for .NET.

After yet another bug with swapping an IF... could the True connector be GREEN and False RED? Thought i already posted this idea years ago, but couldn't find it...
