Universal: Make combo value prefer exact matchCompleted

When pasting a value in a combo box, it selects the first value that partly matches the text. This is very annoying when you pasted the exact value that you want to enter. It forces you to manually scroll to the right record and select it or use the lookup window.If there is an exact match, it should prefer that over the first matching value.For example:

Dark mode in Debug CenterOpen

I use dark mode in the Software Factory and SSMS. It’s great that since the Software Factory is available via the Univeral GUI, that it supports dark mode.However, the Debug Center is missing this feaute and is always in ‘light’ mode:It would be great if the Debug Center gets dark mode as well since it’s used a lot during development.Yours sincerely,My eyes

Make the activated detail tab smarter when switching rows to support different variantsNeeds feedback

Often there are situations where you want to show a different tab-variant as a detail tab based on a specific property of the selected row in the main grid. This is possible by making multiple references and let the context procedure only show the detail tab with the tab-variant based on the property value.When there are multiple detail tabs for the main subject, this has one major downside though: Normally the GUI remembers the activated detail tab when the user switches rows in the main grid. However when the context procedure switches the reference for a different tab-variant, it activates the first visible detail tab.This creates inconsequent behaviour for the user when switching rows in the main grid because sometimes it does keep the same detail tab activated and sometimes it doesn’t. From the user perspective, the different references to the same detail tab are the same thing.To improve the behaviour of cases when the activated detail tab becomes hidden by a context procedure, the GUI/Indicium should prefer activating the first visible detail tab of the same target table as the previous activated detail tab (before activating the first visible detail tab).An alternative (instead of checking if it is the same target table) could be that it activates the first visible detail tab with the same translation value.

Workspace Listener for Linux & macOS 🐧Working on it!

At the moment, there are no plans to create a Workspace Listener for Linux (source).It would be great to not be limited to Windows and have support for automatic opening of your IDE on Linux. Context:Automatic opening of local code files  For additional convenience, Windows users can install the new Thinkwise Workspace Listener. This tool automatically opens the selected code file in your preferred IDE when clicking on the pencil icon. The Workspace Listener is optional. Without it, you can still edit and synchronize code locally (provided you use a browser that supports the Filesystem API), but you will need to manually open the files in your IDE.    Browsers with File System Access API  Chrome & Edge  Browsers without File System Access API  Safari & Firefox  Windows  ✅ Automatic syncs  ✅ Automatic opening (using the Workspace Listener)  ❌ No automatic sync  ❌ No automatic opening    Local code editing requires manual copy/paste  MacOS  ✅ Automatic sync  ❌ No automatic opening  Linux  ✅ Automatic sync  ❌ No automatic opening

The option to use IN as filter in the form listWorking on it!

The last couple of days we receive multiple questions from our end users that the standard form list in the GUI doesn't give the option to use ‘IN’ to filter results. We are very curious why there is no option to put multiple different values comma separated in the standard GUI filter?This group of around 25 end users just moved from a 20+ years old ERP system to our Thinkwise ERP system but they showed us how they worked in the old system and to be honest, it looks easy to implement in the Thinkwise GUI and we actually are a bit curious why nobody seemed to noticed this ‘gap’ before. Maybe we overlooked something but it seems that it can't be done in the GUI in the current version (2023.1.12.0).Not sure how to call the standard filter in the GUI, but in SF they call this filter a form list. In blue there are the options to choose from, they look like this in our Dutch version of the GUI: We miss ‘IN’ as option in this listWhat we need is the option ‘IN’ and a possibility to fill in the values comma separated. For example if you want to see details from 3 different orders 123, 567 and 999 in the old ERP system we would easily filter like this:Filter 3 different sales orders in the >20 years old ERP systemAs a select query this would result in something like:Select details from sales_orders where sales_order_id in (123,567,999)So nothing really difficult about this, so we hope you can put this very soon as a filter option in the GUI?In our old system the filter can also be built like this (see also the different options like ‘and’ and ‘ or’ on the left side as well):Ways to build a selection filter in the >20 year old ERP systemWe read in some other posts on the community about using AND or OR as a prefilter, so maybe this last picture can be helpful. Nevertheless for us the most important thing is to give our end users the possibility to just fill in multiple values comma separated. Maybe this is already possible, if so, hopefully somebody can explain how and if not, we hope Thinkwise can provide this awesome option very soon. Thank you in advance!

Disable any development in Finalized branchesCompleted

When a finished branch gets merged to it's origin (non-reciprocal). It becomes finalized and, depending on selection, archived. Further merging into and from this branch is thereafter no longer possible. Yet, active development is still possible in a finalized branch (even after unarchiving). Wouldn't it make sense to completely lock development in a finalized branch as well? I have experienced a scenario where an unsuspecting developer was actively developing in a finalized branch (without knowing it was a finalized branch) and then find out way too late all of his work is for naught.

Give the developer more information when deleting a row in the Software FactoryCompleted

When deleting a row in the Software Factory, it currently shows the generic message:Usually you can see the selected row in the background, however, I’d like bit more assurance when deleting things in the Software Factory. It would be great if it showed for example (when deleting):Functionality: Are you sure you want to delete {control_proc_id} Branch: Are you sure you want to delete {branch_id} etc.

Ability to show table tasks on grid lineWorking on it!

We would like to have the ability to show table tasks on a grid line. This is especially useful for the mobile GUI and when just a couple of table tasks are available. Currently you can show tasks on the top or bottom of a grid in mobile. To start a task for a specific record you should select a line first and then select the concerning task. In the described case it is faster to select the task direct on the line. See print screens for further explanation. Task on top of grid (current situation) Example tasks on grid line

GUI does not support HierarchyidOpen

Hi Thinkwise community, We want to use the data type Hierarchyid. Hierarchyid is very useful for multi-level structures and is better for our performance. Now we use recursive methods but the bigger they get the slower they become and every time something changes you have to recalculate the entire tree.Unfortunately, this is not possible because the GUI does not support Hierarchyid. I saw a topic with a great solution by Anne Buit. Is it possible that Thinkwise can implemented this mapping? Thanks! Solution:“The hierarchyid is a type that does not have a direct mapping to any internal datatypes used by the technology of the GUI so a conversion must be made to a mappable type whenever this value is loaded into the memory of the GUi (e.g. to nvarchar(4000) and back to hierarchyid).” Topic:Support for System Data type - Hierarchyid

Allow manual execution of inactive dynamic proceduresNeeds feedback

We use several scripts that we run manually on the SF database. One example is a script that suppresses all validation messages for a branch. We run this immediately after creating a feature branch, so that open validation messages carried over from the development branch don't obscure new messages originating from the feature branch itself.We have included this script in our model as a dynamic procedure, which means it falls directly under model maintenance. The procedure has been marked as inactive, because it should not run during every deploy — we only want to execute it manually.However, for inactive procedures the execute button is also disabled. This means we have to activate the procedure first, run it, and then deactivate it again. A bit cumbersome.Idea: allow the execute button to remain available for inactive dynamic procedures, so they can be run manually regardless of their active/inactive status.

Clear filters on detail when the main row is switchedOpen

Sometimes you apply filtering to a detail to get a certain result. Then you switch rows on the main list. And go to the same detail but the detail is still filtered on the previously used filtering so you don’t see any rows until you remove the previously used filtering. I find this very confusing please clear the filtering on a detail when the main row is switched.

option to exclude archived branch/model from cleanupNeeds feedback

We have a few models that we are not actively using (mostly proof of concept) but want to preserve.Currently if we archive branches they will be removed after an x amount of days.This idea suggests an option to exclude a branch from the cleanup.

Set hidden column to authorized on roleOpen

When a column is set to hidden and this column is not a PK, the column is often not supplied through Indicium. This is fine for most cases. However sometimes there are columns that should be hidden inside an application but should be available through Indicium. For example, an Interface ID column.Currently the only way to make this column available in Indicium is by setting the column to editable or read only and set it to hidden on grid, form and cardlist.I would like the option to enable a checkbox on role level that will make a hidden column authorized. This should result in the column being supplied through Indicium for this specific role.This way these kinds of columns can be made available to interfaces and remain hidden inside our application.

Allow users to change their timezoneOn the backlog

Currently as a user you can change several settings related to how you would like to use an application. Which setting you can set, is configured through IAM.I am missing 1 important setting in this. A setting to change the Timezone I’m using. Since all other settings related to your location (date format, language, number format) can be changed through this window, I would expect that the Timezone can also be changed from within this window.

Limit on the export that could be madeOpen

From a privacy and security perspective, it would be beneficial to introduce a limit on the maximum number of records that can be exported from the system.At present, exports can only be fully enabled or completely blocked. We would like the option to configure a maximum export limit—for example, allowing users to export no more than 100 rows per export.

Make Screentype (design) changes require an active "Save" actionClosed

When moving components around of a screen type it now is saved immediately. Please change it how it was in the older versions where an active “Save” was required to confirm your changes.When you now move a component and the result if the placement has an unintended result, your screen type is  now ruined. Since the order of how you move component can be quite important to not completely mess up the already setup specification in width/height, a mistake can happen quite easily.

Showing columns moved to _query suffixed tables as a detail of their parent table in the SFOpen

Query fields were moved to _query-suffixed tables in the 2026.2 version of SF. As a result model-info is no longer (correctly) usable on any query field. This is inconvenient when you want to develop dynamic functionality or query metadata at a higher level. I happen to be aware of this change from the latest SF release because I was involved with upgrading to the 2026.2, but a developer who was not involved in the upgrade would have a very difficult time figuring out where the query columns are actually stored. It would require a significant amount of investigation and trial-and-error to uncover the correct locations.My suggestion would be to add the _query-suffixed tables as a detail in the form of their parents to alleviate this issue.

Semi-colons separated attachments for SMTP-connector (Storage attachments path)Open

I might as well have used the title "Semi-colons separated attachments for Email-connector (Storage attachments path)”, as the problem exists for both cases.I've been directed the a similar idea for Disk files attachements. Initially placed in the community as a question, but now I made an idea for it. Probably this idea will be merged to the Disk files idea.We want to get rid of local file storage and completely move to cloud storage ( for uploads amongst others). So the idea of having to move one or more, sometimes quite large files, to a separate folder, ZIP it en then send the ZIP file as an attachment doesn't really appeal to us (and is not very professional, as the customer has to figure out what is what in the ZIP file). See also Semi-colons separated attachments for email-connector (Disk files) | Thinkwise Community and **SMTP connector: sending multiple attachments from an S3 file storage location?** | Thinkwise Community

Have the preview component also abide by the theme colour it is set to.When there is no document/image to be shown or the size of it is way smaller than the component, it would be nice that the none relevant part of the component is actually similar to the theming colour.Working in dark mode and getting flash banged by the preview component is not fun.
