Is Summary Behavior

When a line item is included in a sum the Is Summary automatically enabled. This can be disabled manually in blueprint mode.

When adding additional line items to that sum, the Is Summary automatically re-enabled.

This default behavior has some undesirable impacts for exports where summary items are omitted.

A quality of life improvement would be that Is Summary for a line item should not be re-enabled if it was previously disabled as this is more intuitive. Workarounds are possible for this behavior as omitting summaries from an export is not necessary with proper filtering/showing of line items.

As a solution to this problem you can add +0 to the end of formula and in this case the line Item is not "is summary"

When "Is Summary" is check-marked on for a Line Item, it prevents another Module's (IF-THEN, SUM, QUARTERTODATE) complex formula from using this value. Once I un-selected "Is Summary" my complex formula worked.

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.
