New to Anaplan, loading large volumes of historical transactional data to support multiple models.

Mapping numbered lists during module to module import

Anaplan API WADL
Hi , We are looking to use the anaplan api with one of our ETL tools which allows us to setup a connection using a rest connection, however it's looking for a WADL. Is this something that exists or will we need to create this ourselves. Thanks D0nmac
Contents of import actions
For import actions it would be good to have a column in Imports tab. suggesting which of the source items(list or lineitems) are mapped to target. Not the natural mapping by anaplan but any thing which is manually mapped and saved rather than opening each action and figuring out.
Line Item Data Connections
If a line item name changes in the source, keep the mapping in actions so that it pulls from the new line item name automatically.

"Omit Summary Items" on Exports should be an option for Imports
Currently, there is an option to "Omit Summary Items" when you are exporting data designed to exclude parent hierarchies. However, there is no such option for imports and this requires users to create saved views that manually exclude parent levels and can cause a lot of manual work for model builders. Without removing…
