Option to Copy Optimizer Action Created by User

AnkitGupta

Once the User has created an Optimizer Process then there should be an option to copy this process (like we have in Modules. this will make life easier, as now we have to take backup of entire model

Yes, it would be best to make this idea happen! In the meantime, I've discovered a workaround that allows us to copy an Optimizer action with a small effort. Here's how:
Step 1 - create a new Optimizer action. Give it a name then set any line items as objective, constraint, and variable ... these line items don't matter, the only thing you'll keep is the name.
Step 2 - In the Actions tab, find the Optimizer action you wish to duplicate. In that row, click on the cell under the Action column that says "Optimizer" in blue letters. Copy.
Step 3 - Now click on the blue "Optimizer" cell of the row of your new action. Paste.
Your new Optimizer action is now an exact copy (except for the name) of the original one.
Note that if you paste into a text editor, you can see the configuration of the Optimizer action, although in a somewhat cryptic format (JSON?). Now, someone should write VBA or Python that translates this format into a human-readable table that we can use as documentation.

Add an Option to Change the Module Name “Style” for Better Visibility
It would be helpful if we could change the Module Name “Style” setting to improve visibility, similar to the Line Item “Style” setting.
Add Time Scale Selection When Creating a New Module
It would be helpful if users could select the time scale (e.g., Year, Quarter, Month, Day) when creating a new module.
Change row height for Summary levels.
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 having pictures shown in a line item in the new UX, the summaries levels all take the same height as the lowest list item, even…
