Need Easy way to set either standard (1,321.36) or Euro (1.321,36) numeric formatting for OUT tags.
An enhancement to the TEXT function that allows me to format numeric fields in either standard (1,321.36) or Euro (1.321,36) formats is required. The ability to select this in the "formatting" field would be perfect as I could reference a SET tag that I create based on user selections and then have one or the other formats flow through my document.

Allow manual entries into the Chart Tag legend
The chart tag at the moment only detects values within the data source, causing inconsistencies between values/color (e.g. risk levels) across multiples of the same report.
It would be great to include the functionality to manually add entries to the Chart Tag legend. This would allow consistency creating reports that require uniformity in values and colors.

Validation to identify non-existent XML data sources
I am currently building a new template with changing XML data sources and values.
The values prove to be no issue as the new data is simply pulled into the Output.
However, if the XSD/XML changes, say the data point name, then the Output just ignores the Autotag ie. null value inserted in Output. The validation tool doesn't identify 'broken' Autotags and actually states that the validation was successful. This also applies to the 'Preview' button, which returns a null but doesn't mention that the data point couldn't be found.3 votesHello Reporter,

Support for test.salesforce.com
With the Salesforce.com Datasource there isn't a way to switch the salesforce.com instance used to a sandbox instance.
Sandbox instances use test.salesforce.com as opposed to production and developer instances which use login.salesforce.com to create the connection.
Our template authors do not always have access to the production instance to do development of templates.
Also we usually run User Acceptance Testing against sandbox instances.
So without this functionality we are unable to develop or test new autotag templates.

Need browse button from the query pane in the Import Tag's Tag Editor
It would be SO COOL to have a browse button from the query pane in the Import Tag's Tag Editor to choose your file/url/etc.

Use a value from an XML file to determine conditional formatting values like colocell or others
Be able to use a tag element value to define conditional formatting parameter value:
Something like this:
<wr:out select=”!/root/ap/qu/elements/c_clau1” condition=”=TRUE::cellcolor!!!/root/ap/qu/elements/c_color::false”/>Instead of:
<wr:out select=”!/root/ap/qu/elements/c_clau1” condition=”=TRUE::cellcolor!!ff8800::false”/>1 voteHello reporter,

Open the Tag Editor window in the center of the screen rather than below the cursor
Currently, when you double-click a tag to open the Tag Editor, the window is opened directly below the position of the cursor. That's fine if the tag is at the top of the window, but if it's near the bottom then the Tag Editor window is partially or even almost completely off the screen. I would prefer that the editor window open consistently in the center of the screen (or perhaps even better, optionally remember its last position and open there) so I don't have to drag the window to see its contents and so it appears consistently and reliably.

3 votesHi Brent,
I just tested this request in Word 2016, Designer 16.2.0, Windows 10 and the Tag Editor was opened directly in the middle of the screen instead of towards the bottom. Perhaps this was fixed somewhere along the way! Thank you for your idea, and please submit any other suggestions you come up with.

Refresh Tags
What if when a document was generated from a template instead of replacing the Tag with the data have the data replace the Tag friendly name. Then the generated document could be passed around modified and when all the changes are agreed upon then run the template again to get the latest values from the data source.
Recently I've had several prospects ask for this kind of functionality and this is the only idea that I could think of that might allow users to refresh their data in generated documents.
8 votesHello Reporter,
We have reviewed this idea internally but have decided to decline it for development. The reason is that this functionality would be non-trivial and risky to implement as well as it is not in the same direction as our current development efforts. Thank you very much for the suggestion, and please submit any other ideas you have to improve our products.

ForEach order='row' - Too Many Queries
When using a ForEach order=row inside another ForEach loop the number of queries performed multiplies e.g. If you have an outer ForEach loop which retrieves 5 entries, and an inner ForEach loop with order=row you get:
- Call to initial outer ForEach
- Call to initial outer ForEach
- Loop over each inner ForEach (5 calls)
- Call to initial out For Each
- Look over each inner ForEach (5 calls)
.. and so on until each entry in the Outer ForEach is resolved.If you use legacy mode on the inner ForEach you get a single outer foreach call,…
