It is a bit strange that on learning materials sometimes there are references to the unsupported components from forge like "Refactor" for example in this video
https://www.outsystems.com/learn/lesson/1229/refactoring-an-application/ that can't be used with the latest platform version.
It would be nice to have such useful components actually maintained and supported by OutSystems team .
Do you ever think to have common search in Add/Remove Dependencies window instead of module specific search?
When you have more number of modules, and no sure which module you need to click for adding any public component, it is good to have common search which displays the public element with the module heading.
This way we can select the right component, if we have more that one elements in same name.
Creating dynamic navigation targets with externalURL on mobile is a pain. Currently to achieve this, developer needs to duplicate and maintain application screen/parameters structure as custom local entities and this is not very convenient design time, as local entities cannot be previewed. Also, whenever application structure changes, screen/parameter data needs to be changed to reflect these changes or else the navigation gets broken.
This change would allow more flexible and dynamic creation of navigation pages / menus.
Another use case where this functionality would be hugely beneficial is push notifications, where the notification can have application screen as payload (deeplink).
This information is readily available on web applications, but not in mobile apps.
This action is already part of the system server actions for web (and mobile, if you're online), but we need a similar and usable Cient action for mobile.
Of course there are some 3rd party forge components which add this, and we could even try to do it through Javascript, but it should be an OutSystems developed part of the platform compliant with RFC 4122.
It is frequent to use SQL Queries to perform operations like updates or deletes that do not require an output structure. For those cases we need to add a random structure as output to remove the error. My proposal is to make the output not mandatory.
Right now, if you have a problem and need to debug something inside RichWidgets, Users, etc. your only choice is to clone them, and publish and point your consumer to the clone, or to clone and "debug in your head". Instead of the "don't make changes!" happening when you open the espace, forcing you to clone it, the "don't make changes!" should happen on PUBLISH (Service Studio should refuse to save the OML, and disable the 1CP button so you can't publish it through Service Center or Studio), so this way we can debug as-needed.

Give a user the ability to add a comment /* comment */ to a assign value to variable like this
It would be really useful to have a default function on static entities that would allow you to get an entity record based on the label property value. This would work similar to the current default function that returns an entity record based on the Id property.
Current workaround (see image below) is to use an aggregate to match a text value to the label property. If a value is found, we return the id, otherwise we raise a ValueNotFoundException.
Problem: When compiling a space that affects several other spaces, the icon with a yellow triangle with exclamation points.
Idea: Place a small yellow icon over the Application icon to make it easier to view Applications that have spaces that need attention. See the attachment.
BottomBar allows us to define a set of Screen navigations behind it, but clicking on a BottomBar Item is like clicking on a menu; Each BottomBar Item doesn't retain a history of the last screen/scrollTop location - it is always a reload to the first linked screen, and not the last screen the User was on for that BottomBar Item's context.
For that, we would use Tabs. Except with Tabs, you can't define the navigation within it with Screens. You'd have to use Blocks (of Screen content) and create a conditional variable to swtich between them, track the Stack (navigation path) to push/pop off of, override the Back button, and store/restore the ScrollTop location for each Block. Lots of work and hard to maintain.
Would be great if we had the option to design like BottomBar (define linked screens) but at Publish/compile time, it outputs behavior like Tabs (with each Tab having its own StackNavigation - remembering the last Screen it was on as well as the ScrollTop location).
Here's some explanations:
https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1V7gxMPBVxo4TyoytXtiuO_3knHF2bj9zlxT9_3HT4Vc/edit?usp=sharing
The AirBnB app does this with at least 2 of its Tabs (keeps the last context), while at least 1 Tab acts like BottomBar Item (reloads the page upon selection).
Most widgets with a label we can use "F2" to quickly edit the text of the label but the conditions of the switch we cannot (image).
Another shortcut that could be really useful would be to double click the condition of the switch in order to open the "code" of the condition itself.
It would be helpful if we could have a functionality that when we right click in a screen variable, we could turn it into an input variable or an output variable and vice versa.
We works as team of developers in same application.
What I noticed is that when I start editing a module, it opens there where the last publish (by any of the developers) took place.
This doesn't make sence to me. If I stop working at today, then tomorrow morning if I open the module I expect to open it where I was when closing it.

Outsystems Screen Templates for Web is a great way to create a new screen with a couple of clicks. But, it lacks templates for popups.
If I want to quickly add a popup to edit a simple record, I need to create it from scratch.
Can you please add some popup templates on OutSystems Screen Templates Web?
Thank you.
So that's pretty much what's on the title. If I create an attribute named Is_Active or IsActive (which will, by default, be a boolean value), set that as the "Is Active Attribute" property of the entity.
Maybe the same for the Order By - if we create an attribute named Order.
For Label, it doesn't seem very straightforward so I'll keep that out :)
