A lot of times I create prefilters for a subject based on domain elements. For example, in my order table, I have a column order_status with domain order_status with elements like concept, confirmed, cancelled etc. I want a prefilter for each of those statuses.
Now I have to create a dynamic model procedure to create prefilters based on a column, which works, but is a hassle. I'd like a task within Subjects > Prefilters to generate prefilters based on a column with the corresponding domain elements. The task should generate the prefilters including the icons, translations, prefilter columns etc and could group the prefilter in a group that is named after the column.
This would save a lot of work and really improve the developer experience.
Generate prefilters based on domain elements

1) Make it generated prefilters, so you can't change them and nee a checkbox like you described.
2) Generate 'regular' prefilters, so it just inserts prefilters and you can alter/delete them if you like.
At pre-sales i had a change to work on solution number 2 mentioned by Jop.
The code below will add prefilters based on the provided domain elements.
Also it will create a new group based on the name of the domain which will include all prefilters.
If domain elements have a picture associated with them it will also use this picture as icon for the prefilter.
To use this code, replace [SF_DATABASE], [PROJECT_ID], [PROJECT_VERSION] and [DOMAIN_NAME] with your own parameters.
Does this idea need upvotes to get higher on the backlog? How are backlog items prioritized?
Hi@BasWesselink ,
That's an excellent and fair question.
In short: the more votes your idea gets, the more likely it is to be implemented. So, it never hurts to try and collect more votes throughout the Community . However, there are some other criteria that we use to prioritize ideas on our backlog.
We already provide an article explaining which states an idea can go through.
I just updated this article with the criteria we use when 1) assessing new ideas and 2) prioritizing these ideas when they are placed on our backlog.
Hopefully this provides some more transparency as to what happens with ideas submitted in this section.
Should you have any more questions or remarks concerning this, please let me know in a reaction on that article.
