'Last Modified: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss' in Model Management
Think it would be a good idea for 'Last Modified: mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm:ss' to be present as a 'column' that you can also use as a sorting option for your models in Model Management. Would be particularly helpful for determining the date a model was archived, which is a semi-common request made to Anaplan Support.

Model 'Time' settings import / export via API as a JSON object
It would be an absolute game changer to have the ability to export model 'Time' settings as a JSON object via the API. Subsequently, the ability to import a modified version of that JSON object to update the model calendar via the API would go hand-in-hand. This would allow for automation of moving the 'Current Period'…

Thanks, Andrew.
