Edit Multiple 'Source Model' Settings for Pages Simultaneously

The ability to edit the source model of multiple pages at once would be a huge quality of life update for page builders. Currently, model builders have to edit settings for each page one-by-one.

This idea proposes that page builders can apply the same change to multiple pages at once: image below shows how this could work.

This is brilliant!!

Definitely need this feature to save time when duplicating apps!

To add to this idea, it would be good to be able to have a “select all” button when selecting the pages to edit. In a lot of cases I’ve experienced so far, it would be quicker to select all pages and then de-select the pages that don’t need to change.

I love the flexibility that this will provide. This becomes really cumbersome when you have a multitude of pages in one app.

A great idea that is hopefully simple to add!

This would be very helpful!

Is it possible ?

This gets my vote.

Definitely. Furthermore, "Move To" should have a "Create a Copy" checkbox (similar to Excel's tab "Move or Copy" feature) to enable bulk page deployments to another app without removing the source page.

This would be really good!

3 years…. let's hope 2024 will be the year that this will be implemented. 😎

This would save us so much time and reduce risk of accidentally linking the wrong model. For example, 2 of our models have over 125 UX pages each. We do a model refresh every few months. Therefore 250 pages to update at 30-60 seconds each = at least 2-4 hours solid working that could have been spent model building.

Allow non-WSAs to view source module name in UX.
When a user clicks the ellipsis in a grid card they should be able to see the name of the source module. This empowers end users with the ability to connect to the source data they see in the UX to the module in the backend. It also enables end users to pull the data into Google Sheets or Excel.
A function that identifies all saved views which filters are broken
I would like the function to identify all saved views which filters are broken(error).
Add feature to “Use Account Style Drilling” in AnaplanXL Grids
This feature to display children above the parent when drilling in is available in AnaplanXL freeform but not grids. This would be a useful feature in Grids as well. As a user, I would expect to have same/similar functionality between Grids and Freeform.
