Thanks for the idea submission.  This is something we've heard from a few customers and would like to implement.  At this point its a matter of getting it prioritized with other work.  Please continue commenting and staring this post so we can get a sense of how many people this would impact.

 

Thanks,
Ben

This would be a great right-click action in the warning box - so when you see "missing fields" you could right click in the warning box and say "forget this one" or "Forget all missing fields in workflow".

This would be so helpful and time-saving!

 

I stopped paying attention to the missing fields on my everyday work because it's too time-consuming.

Currently getting an error where I deleted a field from a Layout tool and am unable to forget missing fields so now I have to delete the layout tool and re-insert.  Clearing all missing fields would be great.

I've had this issue when trying to use the Cache Dataset. Subsequent Select tools suddenly show all fields as missing

This ability would be very helpful for me.

Bump.

 

How accurate is the 'Under review'? This Idea is over 2 years old, but still relevant (to me at least :P )
