Show List Name in Blueprint Format Column (or as an additional column at the end)

In as much detail as possible, describe the problem or experience related to your idea. Please provide the context of what you were trying to do and include specific examples or workarounds:

When working in Blueprint view or exporting module blueprints, list-formatted line items do not clearly display the list name.

In exports or copy/paste to Excel, the Format column shows an internal ID (e.g. hierarchyEntityLongId) instead of the readable list name
In the UI, the Format column can truncate longer list names, requiring users to open each line item individually

This makes it difficult to quickly understand:

Which list a line item is formatted against
How lists are used across modules
The relationship between internal IDs and actual model structures

As a result, model builders often need to manually map IDs to list names or repeatedly open line item format settings, which is time-consuming and error-prone.

How often is this impacting your users?

This occurs frequently (daily/weekly) when working in Blueprint view

Especially common during:
- Model reviews
- Documentation / exports
- Debugging and issue resolution
- Integration and data validation work

Who is this impacting? (ex. model builders, solution architects, partners, admins, integration experts, business/end users, executive-level business users)

Model builders
Solution architects
Integration experts
Platform / CoE teams

Particularly impactful for:

Large or complex models with many lists
Teams working with exports or APIs
Users trying to understand unfamiliar models

What would your ideal solution be? How would it add value to your current experience?

Introduce a way to clearly display the list name alongside the Format column, for example:

Show list name instead of (or alongside) the internal ID in Blueprint exports
Add a dedicated “List Name” column in Blueprint view
Or include the full list name in a tooltip / expanded field

This would:

Improve model transparency and usability
Remove the need for manual ID-to-name mapping
Speed up model audits, debugging, and documentation
Better support integration and metadata use cases

Please include any images to help illustrate your experience.

Action to reset Index
Hello, It would be beneficial if we could add an Anaplan action to reset the index of production data, so we can use it in our processes right after cleaning the lists. At present, we use the API for this, but it's done outside our main processes. Regards, Roba Sajadian Improvement Manager
"Select All Search Results" option for filtering the list line item in Grid Card
Hello, As a representative of people working with Anaplan on a daily basis, I would like to add an option to select all search options for List Line item in the grid card.
