Is this thread more consumable because specific functionality is identified over themes? Is it the way it’s scoped to a release? We could possibly even add in a similar question (“What would you like to see in the next release?”) to the user survey if this is info you’ve been looking for.</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Thanks,</div><div><br class=""></div><div>Jonathan</div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><div><br class=""></div><br class=""></body></html>
