Yes please! Very difficult to know which workspace I'm connected to. Accident waiting to happen...
RE:
This is very much needed especially for big integrations with million places where things are expected to to catch on fire at any time.I think more general solution is needed here. AL lacks a way to pass function invocations as values.In C# I can do this:Action doSomething = () => { doSomethingFoReal(param1, param2); };// and then laterdoSomething(); // actually invoke the body of the action.We don't need anonymous functions in AL, but being able to pass invocation as a value is something that could remove a lot of boilerplate code. Mountains.Something like this pseudocode would be more than enough.var Invocation: Invocation;Invocation := makeinvocation MyProcedure(Param1, Param2);// This should be equivalent to making object instance with globals Param1, Param2 that has a procedure that callsMyProcedure// Only non-var parameters should be allowed. Just a little thing to keep our sanity.// Database, codeunit parameters or events can be used to return results.Invocation.Execute(); // Actually call the saved procedure with the saved parameter values.This doesn't need to have codeunit.run semantics or anything else. Then programmer can make helper procedure that takes invocation and then calls invocation either in codeunit.run wrapper or in tryfunction wrapper.Bonus points 1: Add a function to GetLastErrorInfo().Bonus points 2: Add a function Error(ErrorInfo, KeepOriginalCallStack).

Great to ad posting text as a new text variable option along with vendor/customer name
RE:
Setting tooltips per-column would be a huge win. Right now, I'm holding back on where some tooltip pages are used because they can be in the way of the rest of the table. It would also be useful to display different tooltips to show what relates to a specific column, rather than having to come up with something for the entire row. Of course, when some columns have been flipped to rows, the customisation should still apply and give per-row tooltips.
RE:
One common request is a legend - so any conditional formatting colours or icons are properly documented. If the visual footer features a text field, it should support the icons and formatting used in the visual so they can be properly explained.
RE:
I have a couple clients that would benefit from this as well.
RE:
Would it be possible to preview Office files - e.g. Word documents? My customer does not want them to be downloaded and worked on, they would like to view them in the browser. If it does need to be worked on, can it be opened in Office 365 online (browser) rather than downloaded please? Please reach me on to discuss scenario as I am FTE. Thanks, David
RE:
Navigating users to the kebab menu to get a visual exported must be one of the most painful points that doesn't have any kind of workaround. Being able to pin an export button inside the header title would certainly have saved several frustrating support calls. This has even resulted in some failures for whatever reason the user could not reach the button without another visual interfering. Of course, see the many export button requests here for much more control wanted over the formatting and encoding of exports. I've also used the pattern recently of putting the bookmark buttons that affect a visual in its header. It gave a nice, neat and compact view and made it clear which visual the buttons relate to.
RE:
I have a page which users have requested the ability to take a sample of rows for audit checks. This is based on a numeric field. The first problem is I couldn't get a search field working without it being a text field. This means an ugly custom column that uses padding with invisible special characters so the list visually sorts in numeric order. The numbers to filter are generated elsewhere. Having a search box that worked with numerics and is paste aware would both make my users happy in not doing a bunch of fiddly work, and also make my model happy it doesn't have a pointless column in it.
