Ensure that the popup and modal work with the keyboard and that the focus follows this navigation, and when closing the popup/modal the user returns to the place where the popup opened. Currently every project needs to add extra javascript to make it work in accordance with WCAG regulations.

It would be nice to be able to set the required order of columns when output in the excel file.We've had various requirements/complaints about the column ordering in exported files that make life harder than it needs to be for business users.PS: I am eager to assist in extending the widget ;)

When deploying from one environment to another, sometimes there are applications that have dependencies that Lifetime detects and tries to recomplie and redeploy. This is shown in the example below: In this case I have only 1 dependency, but sometimes I have more than 50 and it gets very cumbersome to have to uncheck all (as sometimes I don't want the apps to be recompiled because the change doesn't really affect them and impacts deploy times). So I'm asking for a simple "check all" and "uncheck all" boxes right above the dependency counter. Thank you.

Hi Team, As having more dependencies increases the size of your Module and increases the duration of 1-Click Publish.It would be great if user get warnings in TrueChange to remove all unnecessary dependencies of module.As of now i don't get any clue that no of unused dependency in module has increased to  a large number.Thanks,Preeti Kumari

The scenario is an attribute that is decided not be used anymore in an entity, but its deletion is not a good policy at that point.The only way to "deprecate" is adding a comment in the description, which is not a safe solution because it doesn't prevent developers to keep using it.So there could be a property in the attribute (called Deprecated) that could grey out the field and warn about its usage in SQLs and other actions.

With REST services, we can open the documentation from the context menu. With SOAP web services, we have to type the URL (which is not easy to find) to get there. It would be great if we had a context menu option "Show Documentation" for SOAP as well.

ODC is still undergoing many changes and raises doubts in some questions in the certification exam - as some changes happen in a period close to the test we have scheduled (has the answer to the test already been corrected) For example, roles, initially the roles could not be shared, but later they could. I suggest having an email or a form of communication - it could be in the course material itself indicating that the certification questions already refer to updates to the material, or something like that, to ensure that there are no doubts about what we should answer. Or of course, and perhaps easier to manage, a certification is only released after the OutSystems version and the documentation is stable.

We found certain queries coming from clients and timers get stuck in IIS indefinitely, despite having timeouts. These queries were sitting in IIS without any way to know this until our environment was inaccessible and we had to reach out to support to resolve the issue. While this clearly is a bug, support stated they would not be resolving this issue and thus we should create an 'idea' for it. Truthfully, not an idea, a bug that needs to be resolved because it results in OutSystems environments slowing down over time, eventually leading to them becoming inaccessible, and customers don't have visibility into IIS. Additionally, as part of my 'idea', I would suggest the OutSystems website to reflect the fact that this can happen as statements like "Every web request done to an OutSystems application takes its time to process by the application server (IIS) and is ruled by a Request Timeout that prevents the existence of everlasting web requests", are false. Obviously such a change would only be necessary in the short term as ideally, this issue would be resolved, but until then statements of this sort on their website are lies.

1. Have a 'Yearly' selection Currently, we can select 'Daily, Weekly, Monthly' when we are configuring when timers are suppose to run. It will be a nice to have, if a 'Yearly' selection is available as well. There are some jobs which are only required to run once a year. Currently, we can only build a check, in the logic of the timer, to check whether whether it is a new year before continuing the logic. 2. Have option not to automatically run timer, when it is set from 'Inactive' to 'Active ' We have encountered a situation before, when we need to set the timer to Inactive for debug purposes. As the application is already live in PROD, naturally the status of the timer is Active. Then we found there was a bug, as such, we set the timer to Inactive in PROD, while we are still trying to fix the bug. After fixing and when app was deploy to PROD, we have to switch the timer back to Active. However, once we switch, the timer automatically runs again, even thou it is not the correct time to do so. So our end users panicked, as they know the auto emails, reminders etc, shouldn't be set out during that time of the day. End-users being end-users, they might not understand that we are just trying to fix a bug and then re-activate the timer

Recently, a requirement forced me to use a Data action to fetch data from an external database.In Reactive, this means the Start Index is not available as a parameter, which means implementing pagination requires 10 times more work than a regular aggregate.The problem and solution are clearly explained in this forum post .It feels like there should be a more immediate way to do this, since OutSystems is pushing Reactive Web as the future, and integration with external databases as one of its main selling points.Thank you
