Remove Line Item Mapping when Item is Removed from Import Data Source

Within the Line Items tab of the import dialogue, please can line item sources be removed when these are removed from the import data source.

Take the below as an example:

If I were to remove Revenue from the import data source, the Revenue line item source would still appear on the left to be mapped to a line item target.

This is OK when you are importing using a small number of line item sources. However, if you have many line items to map, it can get really messy when you have to do the mapping, as you cannot tell which line items still exist within the source.

I agree with this idea.

If removal cannot be done automatically, it will be great if there is an additional button to remove the items from the mapping manually instead of marking them as ignored. Our only option at the moment is to rebuild the action.

Is there a plan to resolve this issue? Still showing deleted LIs in the Action source makes it difficult to audit the action. It would also be beneficial if renamed LIs were also renamed in the action source instead of appearing as new LIs that then need to be mapped creating room for errors when making changes.

Hello,
the idea is interesting,
it is true that if the Line Item is no longer present in the view, or if it is renamed, then the window still shows the original item.

I have a doubt, can an automatic filter hide the Line Item?
If so, it may be necessary to keep the mapping set?

I totally agree

Agreed, most times the ids isnt showing correctly the changes occured in the source view.

I agree that this should be done automatically.

Every time I want to do this I use the following workaround:

In the line item mapping tab , select "Clear All"
Press OK
Remap the line items. The delete line items no longer appear.

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.
