    I watched through the keynote and I was curious if there are plans to roll out the KPI reports and Heat maps as report types that would be available in tables or are those only going to be available on the executive dashboards?

    Any plans to allow arithmetic calculations between columns on a summary report? 

    For example we have a column on a summary report for Widgets Produced and a column for Man Hours and we want to calculate Widgets per Man Hour.  Right now we have to contrive and maintain extra parent tables to be able to summarize values up to a parent to be able to get at the totals to divide. 

    But users expect it to be like Excel "I see the numbers - why can't I just divide A / B.

    Are there plans to make the "Add a column to this report" modal with a search-field option?  When you customize a report, you can use the search-fields feature to find a field or a type of field.  When adding additional columns from the in-report modal; you still have to scroll through (sometimes hundreds) of fields to find the one(s) you want.

    Can you speak to the possibility of transferring sync table app tokens between users? Someone asked me this a few months back and I didn't know the answer, is it or will it be possible to transfer tokens between users so that should a builder leave the Company, nothing inadvertently breaks when IT invalidates their account?

    Will there ever be a "Copy app" option that does NOT break sync relationships?

    Is there a plan to enable Automations to copy and be disabled, like Webhooks are, when copying an application?

    Can you outline the specifics of how sandbox mode merges to the live copy? How does it know to preserve recently changed records?

    I want to know why I have to pay for a 3rd party to create a form for printing.

    Could we go back to displaying the Record Picker with all it's values once it is selected; not just the 1st-one.  Before the type-ahead record picker was rolled out; when you selected a parent-record; all 3 of the Record Picker field selections would display in the Related Reference/Proxy field.  Now, only the 1st one shows up.

    This has meant a lot of manual update to "switch" the Record Picker around to move the (often) 2nd value into the 1st slot so that the most relatable value of information is still visible once the selection is made.

    Otherwise, we must always show the Lookup field values on the form in Add/Edit mode; which can clutter up the page.
