Sometimes, when working with databases providing more than just a couple cubes or entities, finding the cube or entity you're looking for in the drop-down lists can be pretty cumbersome when no search function is available. Consider this example from the action library for calling a procedure

If, however, developers would like to look up the cube for an alignment or extraction, or an entity that shall be extracted, they'll have to scroll the whole list to find the desired entry, like in this example

My idea would be to enhance those actions with a search function similar to the procedure call - that would make life much easier.

    Thank you for sharing your idea, @Helmut Heimann . We understand the need of this solution.

    This idea is already part of our development roadmap and we aim to release the enhanced search functionality in the next release early 2024 along with the fresh look and feel of our platform. So it will be improved across data models, screens and more.

    We encourage you to continue submitting your ideas and suggestions in the future, as we are always open to hearing new perspectives and feedback.
