"Search" box for the list when list is assigned as a line item format
As a model builder, I would prefer to have a "search" box to look for a list name when I assign a list as a line item format. Currently, I can only scroll to look for a list name. "Search" box is more efficient than scrolling when the list is quite extended . What do you think?

Create a new naming convention based off of the action being either an import to a Module or a List. EG. The L8 and 9 and 4th row would have List in the action section and the 3rd row would have Module in the name. This would be used to quickly reference things and make it easier to do research.

In our case the file would be created by our 'AnaplanCoE' user we are using for the API. It would be great if you can change the file that it will be the default for everyone or…
