Change to a Saved View should not break exports

When model builders modify a saved view, this breaks existing export actions that use that saved view. The reference to the view is not dynamic.

For example, if a model builder adds a new line item to that saved view, then existing Export Actions do not recognise the change. Then the model builder needs to create a new Export Action and publish to NUX etc. This is a real problem as there is very little information available in the edit window of the Export Action.

We want customers and partners to quickly and easily enhance the models/solutions to add value, and this constraint adds extra work.

The ideal solution would be

  • Existing exports referencing a saved view will dynamically recognize any modifications to the saved view, and the model builder not need to rebuild the export.
  • In the Export edit window, show the name of the saved view referenced (not just the module name).

  • This is a Problem if the modules gets renamed.
