Session API is now set to get first 100K

Allow worksheet naming at the Export step

A way to avoid writing zero-row batches to Datasets

Combine Filter/Split step
Hi, I'm raising this on here as it's come up a few times with various users and I want to see what others' think of the idea to essentially combine the filter and split steps (which perform the same action, with the only difference being the split step allows users to view unfiltered results): vs I myself have found on…

Sticky Notes attached to Workflow step
Just a thought… but it would be really nice if Sticky notes could be pinned to workflow steps (I always provide decisions or descriptions of steps as part of knowledge transfer).

I would like to include metadata in the export step (specifically in the JDBC option) that includes metadata for the target system and table (e.g. tablename, DBMS system, credentials used etc.) as this would help users / DBAs to debug/resolve any issues or be included in a point-in-time audit…

Issue list as a source for charts & indexes?
It would be so helpful if Issue lists could be used as a data source for charts and indexes. For example, I have a nice donut chart of my issues (includes custom status) that I share with a customer in a dashboard. Currently, I have to send the issue list data to a dataset and then let the chart use that dataset for the…

Avoiding the same data being loaded into multiple Spaces
Submitted on behalf of a customer. Sometimes users might be unaware that the data they are about to load already exists in a different Space. Rather than sharing it as a View we end up with multiple versions of the same data making it difficult to know which is the correct version to use. One idea is an administrator…
