Date Key in Datasets

There was an error rendering this rich post.

It would be great if dataset developers had the ability to tag a column in the dataset as a "date key". In theory downstream when building cards, anytime a user creates a new card, Domo would default to adding this tagged column as the date field.

I feel this would save card builders an infinite amount of time not having to remove, drag, and drop the date columns when building cards.

Agreed! Almost every card we build we need to jump through these hoops too. The worst part is if you forget to change the date it's not clear that the card is giving incorrect results when you view it outside of analyzer.

Also, swapping out the date field on an existing card that's been saved the UI bugs out in multiple ways. If you add the date field you want, then delete the incorrect one, it will actually delete the date field you just added instead (depending on the ordering). Once you do get the new field added and the old removed, you need to save and exit, then re-open analyzer to see that the date filter is now using the correct date.
