Workflow Automated Restructuring

[IraWatt]

Once I've built a workflow I often have to go through the process of removing and combining tools such as selects and formula tools which could be simplified to just one tool. It would be great to have an automated feature which could detect groups of tools which could be simplified and then automatically combined them into one step, improving/simplifying my workflow.

This would be amazing. As an added option to this cleanup feature would be to "remove all missing fields" everywhere in the canvas. Often when I'm building I send all of the fields through since I don't always know what I'll need. But then as I refactor and standardize what fields are needed I remove a lot from upstream tools. Then I have all of the missing fields flowing through that junk up my tools. Please add a method to remove all of these from the canvas.

Love this idea - I also imagine 'auto optimisation' is something that could easily be improved in the future:

• Moving all (de)Selects to the start of the workflow
• Removing other duplicate tools
• Setting data types at the start of the workflow (similar to auto-field functionality)
