Block Line item deletion if it is used in saved views.
I should not be able to delete any line item that is part of a saved view or used in an action within connected models. With the growing number of interconnected models and imports, any deletion, movement, or renaming of line items can break imports and disrupt connections between models. This safeguard is essential as a…

Native Time Formats with Hours and Minutes
Problem Statement: There is a business need to allow users to filter and analyze data based on specific times (e.g., 14:30).

Show Line Item Format in New Model Building Experience
The new model building experience is far better than the classic and needing to click into every module if syntax is unknown. A big incremental enhancement would be to add some sort of icon or naming to show you the Line Item type. Adding this naming would allow the builder to better understand what they are referencing…
