DomoStats Datasets Field Suggestion
We wanted to leverage a DomoStats for Datasets, particularly the field 'Description', to provide context to the data that exists in our instance so we can leverage AI. Our hope was to use this dataset, get it AI Ready with our definitions/context, and be able to ask an Agent questions like "which dataset should I use for XYZ', for example.
In the DomoStats Datasets data there is no field for 'Description', but I see that it exists for the DomoStats DataFlows data. If at all possible, can the DOMO team help us by adding the description column to the Datasets data?
Lock Cards by default when created
Dear all,
When a new card is created please lock it by default instead of keeping it unlocked.
Thank you.

Mass dataset change on duplicated cards
I was using one dataset to create all of my dashboards and cards, but I had to split it up into smaller datasets for performance. Now I need to duplicate all of the dashboards with duplicated cards and change the dataset on each one. I would like to see a way to change selected cards to a new dataset. I saw the post about changing all of the cards on a dataset to a new dataset, but we should be able to select certain cards to switch.

Re: Make the Flex Table the GOAT chart
One additional change that could be done on the Flex table is this:
Allow to reverse the colour direction for each field individually, because now you can only reverse the colour direction for the whole table at once. For example if you have revenue and cost in one flex table, one should be green as it increase and the other should be red, which is not supported currently in the flex tables.

Magic ETL Field Search Tile Highlight Enhacement
While I do love the new Magic ETL field name search, what would make it even better is if there were a way to highlight the tiles where the searched field is actually modified (vs. just passing through). It might just be me, but if you would find this useful, give this idea some love :)

Option to add prefix in Magic ETL Joins
The Pandas library and Power Query have this option, it's the option to add the table name as a prefix when joining tables. Huge benefits when working with system-generated datasets for example that can have 40+ columns with similar names in each table.
The workarounds mentioned here don't quite cut it - if you're used to this feature.

Heatmap Tables in AppStudio
The basic Mega Table card has come a long way from when it was first released. One of these improvements has been the ability to color the columns as a heatmap (with lots of other settings within). In the card details page, it is basically a perfect implementation. However, when you put your card into AppStudio, it automatically assumes you want to use your theme colors and overwrites the more logical, red/green color palette that so many users know and love. Depending on the them of your app, you can get all sorts of illogical colors that don't tie back to the actual data you are showing. Down -8% YoY?, sure lets make that dark green.
I'd love a checkbox or some other functionality that allows you to 'lock' the colors of your table (including heatmap) instead of overriding with the appstudio them colors.
Flip Y Axis in Analyzer for Negative Numbers (i.e. "spikes in shrink")
• Customers who deal often with negative numbers (think merchandise loss prevention and spikes in 'shrink') need a way to represent negative numbers and their respective increases/decreases because of the potential for these negative numbers to become positive.
• Currently, using bar charts doesn't allow a way for users to retain negative number quantities and still have the bars themselves accurately represent their increases and decreases over time.
• Customers have to rely on complex BeastModes to get the visual to work the way they want.
• Requesting that we add functionality in Analyzer to allow users to simply flip the Y Axis between positive and negative - similar to how Excel will allow you to flip/invert your charts.
Here is example of using BeastMode to 'trick' visual into working: Issue is when anything at a more granular level etc. goes positive, it adds negative still “–“
If BeastMode is not used to 'trick' the chart into keeping accurate negative/positive representations, it comes out this way (undesirable):
Update Date Selector "Chart Type" to Match Global Date Range Selector
<Please direct me to an existing feature request if exists, the closest I could fine was a 'need help' linked below>
We are currently using Domo Everyone embed and are limited with our date filter options.
The current date selector is clunky and limited. I have to use a ton of dashboard space to get it to look just OK. The font sizes and layout just look inconsistent with our other (dropdown) filters.
So I will suggest that there could be a date selector - or even a date selector 'mode' in addition to 'presets' and 'calendar' that matches the global filter exactly. Just a large dropdown with lots of options. See screenshot here:
Note: The workaround suggested by other users on similar request to use a text variable and a radio button control with custom presets is sub-optimal as well. This just creates another large card if you populate anything past 3-4 preset options. Not to mention all the complicated calculated fields/ beast modes needed.
This request is very similar to this 'need help' post:
More flexible chart labeling options
It would be amazing if we could get more flexibility for chart labeling. I'm talking about the ability to choose font sizes on a numeric scale, the ability to insert text boxes on the card, and the ability to modify labels on the fly. There's prob more out to add to this list. Currently, I find I'm forced to export the data from the card to excel in order to gain more control over the visual output. (gasp!)
