When Adding A New Line Item - No Data Format
I would like to request that when a new line item is added into a module, rather than defaulting the format to Number as is standard, it defaults to "No Data". Immediate ROI: - Automatically won't toast the model if you write a formula without changing the format * In another post, someone asked what do you "always forget…

Before placing this idea I have open a topic in UX Designers forum to collect thoughts of the community about it: MR: User to select…
Change in Anaplan Connect Error handling to include functional errors

Enable the ability to Show / Hide the commenting functionality for each card.
There are too many "comments" icons on a board. This makes is easy for users to get confused about where to add comments or where to find comments that were previously entered. If you could "toggle" the comments function for each card, then you could limit a board to only 1 place where comments can be added--making it much…

haschildren(List)
There should be a haschildren() function that takes in a list that a module is dimensioned by and returns a boolean, indicating whether or not the list member has a child.

History on Formula Changes
Similar to Cell or Module history, there should be an option to get on demand history on formula changes. An option in blueprint mode to select any line item formula and get history option should be added. This will be helpful to track formula change in multiple model builder environments.
Ability to revert changes made by individual end user
Hi, Currently, reversions can only be applied to a specific timeframe for all end-users. If an end-user would like to revert their changes in the app, how can they do this?
Report: Dynamic Page Sizing
The Report Designer limits you to the following page sizes - A5, A4, A3, Letter, Folio, Legal and Executive all of which are "printable" options, however, with the option to export to PDF (a highly dynamic file type), it would be useful to have the option to set page size either by px, in., cm. and then have the option to…

Change history
My customer is requesting a change history recording function as in Excel.

Change column width for nested list dimensions in Anaplan UX
