1. What is your idea?
The Idea is, to show in the Entity list of the database a hint, if this entity is used in a selection (like “in use in a cube”). In addition, there should be information on which elements the selection are based on. Also where the selection is set (which Screen, Layout, etc.)
2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to?
Board technology saves any selection on entity members on the internal ID of the entity element (not the entity code). If there are fixed selections on entities and the internal id of an entity element is changing, it could lead to a wrong selection or error. This is regarding e.g. to fix selections of
- Screen or Layout
- Refer to
- Selections in Procedures
- Fix selections in Security
- …
The information would help to avoid changes in entities, that are selection relevant.
3. What workaround have you found and used so far (if any)?
You can see in the analysis where an entity is used. But not if there is a selection on the screen.
