4 years later and still relevant.  🙂

 

I have one giant of a workflow that needs to forget several columns in hundreds of tools.  Please expedite.

Relevant still, i am updating a workflow which has been upgraded many times, and missing fields are something of a game now, i'm checking through all of the select tools an then looking for gold items, just to hit "forget missing fields"   please can we have a global function to forget all missing fields.  I'm surprised by how many other people also have come across this problem, i'm hopeful the next version will include this most wanted ability.  We have enough demand 🙂

Hi All!

 

Thank you for the ping @Ruud !

 

Due to several changed in the product team during the past few years, several ideas, including this one, unfortunately fell through the cracks. However, our Product and Community teams have put into place several new initiatives to help bring these awesome ideas back to the forefront. I checked in with our product team on this idea in particular, and can confirm that it's currently being reviewed for user experience. While I unfortunately cannot provide an update in the form of a status change, I can confirm this idea is on our product team's radar and is in the active review stages.

I am in the thick of an integration project that requires 70+ workflows and clean up by individual tool is rapidly getting very old to say nothing of the decreased effectiveness.

 

Please implement soonest!
