It would be great to have a NUX page that allows working with data from all the models connected to the page simultaneously, without having to select a specific model at the top of the page. This would be especially useful for model builders when creating control pages that show synchronization results and model statuses,…

Problem: Co-modeler often suggests formulas that don't work - invalid syntax, or timeouts requiring manual copy/paste that still fails. This forces users to debug the suggestion and explain the model's structure back to the tool (often having to leverage another AI like Chat or Claude) instead of just applying a working…

In current standard grid modules and UX Grids you can't Collapse & Expand hierarchies of Lists/Line Items/Sublist like you can do in Excel (see below).

As a model builder, I'd love to have a similar functionality to easily Show History for line items - formula changes for sure, but ideally also changes in format, dimensions, and summary methods, along with the name of the user making…

In order to support varied testing and especially split-model deployments (same dev model with different data sets/time periods), it would be useful to have Time Ranges be Production Data. This will provide value in allowing all deployed models linked to the development model to be configured independently and save on…

Please extend the “Require approval from all assignees” option, which is currently available for manually selected approvers, to dynamically assigned approvers as well.…

If an AI agent could build your next Anaplan module from a plain-language prompt, would you trust it, or would you still rebuild it yourself line by line? Curious to hear how comfortable people would be with AI-generated Anaplan models and what level of validation you would expect before using the output.

What's the #1 bottleneck in your Anaplan build cycle right now? A. Model documentation B. Onboarding new builders C. Optimizing slow formulas Curious which one takes the most time for your team and how you're currently addressing it.

The new expand/collapse functionality for hierarchies on rows is a great improvement! It would be helpful to have the same functionality when a hierarchy is pivoted to the columns.
