More Dataflow suggestion: When I "cancel" out of a data flow don't dump me back to the Dataflow page

There was an error rendering this rich post.

It doesn't always happen, but when it does, UGH. I hit cancel when in an ETL and then I go all the way back to the All Dataflows page. I don't want to go that far back. That's not even where I started.

It seems to depend on how I get to the ETL.

In this case I can be in the Overview page, click edit etl, once in the etl I click cancel, and it takes me back to the dataflow page instead of back to the Overview page.

It's confounding

Does the same thing in SQL dataflows as well. Instead of taking me back to the overview of the dataflow I am working on, it just sends me to the entire list of dataflows when I cancel.

This usually happens when you click the Edit ETL from the output dataset of the dataflow. Rather than clicking Edit ETL from the dataset, I tend to click the three dots to View DataFlow first, then edit from that page. That way when I cancel out, it does not kick me back out to the dataflows list. Agreed though that the behavior would be nice to be the same either way!

This is a great idea. I have experienced this annoyance too. I'll review with the team.
