When we update the custom CSS file used for our Universal GUI, the interface on our mobile devices does not automatically reflect the changes.We are currently running our application as a web application through Chrome on our devices.The issue we're facing is that, after updating the custom CSS, we have to manually clear the Chrome cache on each individual device in order for the changes to take effect.Since we have quite a few devices in use, this process is very time-consuming and inefficient.Is there an easier or more automated solution for this?

On a few occasions we use the history table to calculatie timings and would like to add an index to the history table for improved performance. 

Right now, when a developer sets a code template to "In Review" in Thinkwise, the AI review starts automatically. The problem is that developers often think they’re done at that point and forget to check the AI comments.We suggest making the AI review a separate step before the actual review. This way, developers can handle AI feedback first, and only then move the template into review. It would make the process clearer and prevents extra work for a reviewer.

Currently sequences are not allowed to be configured as default constraint on a table column. However this would make dev life easier if we could do an insert on a table without having to fetch the next sequence value explicitly. It would work similarly to an identity seed, however you could use the sequence on multiple tables to have a shared unique value, this is a powerful concept.Currently you can build a work-around with tags and dynamic code, but it would be better if it were integrated into de software factory so that it is visibile in the right place and avoids complexity and confusion for new developers.

We have a few custom code groups currently we are unable to assign these to Program Objects via the user interface so we are forced to use the SQL assignment to assign them. The SQL assignments are not always ideal for various reasons so I'd like to propose the following: Being able to create a mapping from a custom code group to multiple build in code groups and use this to show the correct Program Objects in the assignment.

As I'm advancing step by step with the process flow, I unfortunately increase the amounts of problems I create for myself. Something theat happens often, is that I create an infinite loop in the process flow. Ofcourse, one should be carefull, of course one should always take measures to prevent, of course a lot should be done to prevent this. But fact is that a small mistake may create an infinite loop in the process flow, and form that momento on, its just impossible to stop the loop. The only way is to restart stuff, to which I do not have any access. And if I'm playing around in the evening, often our servers are running red during the night untill someone can restart.  So, I'm askin, almost urging to please make something that kills the process flow, so a developer can also correct himself without going through the humiliation of confessing a s***d up once again. ;-)    

Description:Introduce the ability for developers to define custom font sizes for components within the Universal GUI. This should be configurable at design-time, allowing consistent styling across forms, grids, and other interface elements.Rationale:Currently, font sizes are fixed and not adjustable per component. Developers need more control to ensure visual hierarchy, accessibility, and consistency. This is especially important for applications with complex layouts. Since we want tot avoid using custom css as much as possible it would be great if there was a way to change this through the SF.Suggested Implementation:Add font size properties to relevant GUI components in the Software Factory. Allow configuration per screen element (e.g., form fields, grid headers, labels). Support standard units (px, em, rem) or predefined size categories (e.g., Small, Medium, Large). Ensure compatibility with responsive design principles.

I would like more flexibility in how domain elements are displayed in Universal (lookups, forms, and grids).Currently, in Universal (version 2025.2.11), a domain with an image combo control is always shown as icon + text. In some cases, I would prefer to show only the icon, in others only the text, and sometimes both. The desired display format depends on the specific screen or selection context.We already have a similar feature available for table tasks, called “Custom display type”. I would love to see the same kind of setting applied to domain elements, so they can be displayed differently depending on the level or context.My initial thought is that this configuration could be added to the col table, making it visible in the subject overview where it can be adjusted per form, grid, or other object.Alternatively, it might also make sense to include it in the lookup section or the domain section itself. This depends on broader design considerations, but my preference would be to have

We recently updated from version 2024(.2?) to 2025.2.It appeared to some of our users were copy pasting data from tables in Universal, and they were able to select multiple rows and copy the values of all columns.It has since been changed so that only one value from one row and one column can be copied at a time.I guided them through how they can use the export function instead, and from the exported excel sheet they can copy and paste data more freely to their own excel sheet again.However, they are sad that they cannot use the previous copy and paste functionality.I read in the post that this was an intentional change.Maybe it would be possible to distinguish between selected row(s) and selected cells? So that users have more control over selected values like in Excel?Or maybe you could give users an option between copying a single value and copying a whole row?

The WMS application we are developing integrates extensively with external systems, such as picking solutions and ERP platforms.Communication between these systems is handled through XML messaging. Occasionally, a message may fail.For example, when an incorrect value is provided, such as sending a string where an integer is expected.Whenever an error occurs, whether due to syntax or processing issues, the XML message is stored in a designated failed folder. At the same time, a record is created in the application’s interface_error table. This record contains both the XML body and the corresponding error message, enabling users to review the failed message. From there, they can choose to resend it to the target system or take alternative corrective actions.To improve readability and usability, we would like to display the XML content using pretty print formatting in the multiline form field.So it looks like this:In stead of this: 

Since Universal GUI 2025.2.13 (rc1) fields with ‘Look-up has popup’ will become clickable in the (non-edit-mode) grid to open the lookup. This feature would be ever better if a user could right-click on the link to choose how to open the lookup (similar to a hyperlink on a website).-Open as popup-Open as new document-Open as new browser tab-Open as new browser windowBonus points if the default way of opening (left-click) is configurable for each lookup in the SF.

Currently, the cube view filter only supports “Contains” (or “equal to”) as a filter option.Additionally, I would like to have the option for "does not contain” (or "not equal to”) as a filter option.Now I have solved it with a prefilter that excludes my values from the cube, but it would be better if the filter option was editable from the SF
