Hi, Recently I have uploaded an asset to the forge. This ideia came up to me because I felt the need to see a progress tracker, that indicates in which state the upload is currently on. By implementing this, the user always knows what is happening behind the scenes and avoids contacting the support to know more information about this. It would save some workload as well for the support members. Best regards, André Almeida.

In Service Studio, static entities have a Description property (like all other things you can create like actions, structures, attributes and so on). However, given the nature of static entities, each record has a specific use, which currently can't be described. It would be nice if it were possible to add a description to each record, in addition to the static entity itself. This will help the developer assign the right value. This description could then also be shown when hovering over a record in the static entity selection pop-up.

Hello All,JavaScript has had ES6 and ES7 syntax since a couple of years. The new syntax provides some good features like lambda syntax, the 'let' keyword, the 'const' keyword, template literals etc.While some old browsers do not support all of the syntax, there are libraries like 'babel.js' ( https://babeljs.io/ ) which transform modern JS to ES5 (the usual JS syntax).It would be great if the OutSystems product allowed using modern JS directly in ServiceStudio.OutSystems can integrate the babel.js within the platform - so that it can convert any modern JS syntax to ES5 (older JS when required for old browsers, already most modern browsers do support ES6 , but not all..).Advantages:1. Developer productivity with modern JS will be very good. Many forge components rely on JS and JS libraries and having support for modern JS will be great.2. Modern JS is helpful for writing easier to read and maintainable JS code.3. On the mobile front in OutSystems - apache cordova for the mobile plugins is JS based - so supporting modern JS would be a win over there too.

Dear all,The AD has a chart with the overall technical debt trend for all applications within Outsystems factory, however should be very interesting to have something similar for each application.Something like:Best regards,João Paulo Pires

tl;dr : When refreshing a REST API definition, import only structures actually used by the imported methods, instead of *all* the structures exposed by the API. Details : When refreshing a consumed REST API definition, using the right-click "Refresh REST API..." context-menu item, you can select which methods will be imported. However, *ALL* the structures exposed by the API are imported, even if you import just a single method. This in turn triggers as many warnings as there are "Unused Structure", and we then have the tedious and error prone task of removing said unused structures. If only the actually used structures of the selected methods were imported, the task would be much easier and less error prone.

When I try to use the built-in action ListAny in a client action that needs to be a function, I currently get the error message sayingOnly actions that are functions can be used in other functions.From the documentation I get it that you don't want to perform asynch or server calls within a client function, but surely ListAny (or any other 'harmless' action) should be allowed?Or, at the very least, please make a function version of the built-ins ListAny, ListIndexOf and ListAny available.

Hi everybody.I don't know wheter this is an idea or a question, or maybe we don't know a tool exist for this situation.We, at my company, are quite new working with Outsystems Platform. Some few days ago I did a minor upgrade from 9.0.0.2 to 9.0.0.19 version. Following the Upgrade Guide is a straightforward process but there is a point where things can become complicated: we have to republish every application and module manually, being specially carefull with dependencies.I think it would be really nice that this process could be automated as a taks performed inside the platform.What do you think?

 Problem In large modules, unused local variables, input parameters, output parameters, and assignments can accumulate over time. This makes the code harder to maintain and can confuse developers during debugging. How this suggestion can help A better unused element detector would improve code quality, reduce technical debt, and help teams clean modules before publishing. Implementation example Service Studio could show warnings such as: Local variable 'TempStatus' is never used. Input parameter 'RequestId' is not referenced. Output parameter 'SuccessMessage' is never assigned. It could also provide a quick action: Remove unused variable

In order to clean a project, sometimes we require to go to each eSpace, each action and check if there is any usage of, for instance, comment comment element.  It would save a lot of time if we could list all of the usages of Advanced Queries, Comments, Aggregates and so on.Cheers
