Is there a way to search for a relative date range in the web client (like "expires within the next 3 days"), the way an advanced SQL-style query could in Enterprise Explorer?
A Lobby element's data source works fine until a GROUP BY is added, at which point it fails with a "not a group by expression" error, even after trying different fields.
How do you move between cells vertically using the keyboard in a web-client table that's in edit mode, since the down-arrow key doesn't behave the way it does in other grid-editing tools?
A Lobby list element's navigation link uses page parameters for a partial/wildcard search (like a site code starting with certain letters), but using `%` wildcards or an equals-sign-based filter either includes the literal `%`/`=` in the search or returns no results.
A search in the web client only shows a limited number of records (like 24) at a time with no obvious way to page through or return all matching records at once, even though exporting to Excel confirms far more records actually match.
Is there a way to hide specific tree-navigator nodes (like Invoice, Purchase, and Payment under a Supplier record) through Page Configuration?
Adding an extra filter condition to a Navigation Link (beyond the field it's already bound to pass) fails validation, even though the underlying page supports filtering on that additional field just fine elsewhere.
What determines the actual start-of-week boundary used by substitution variables like "next week," since different countries define the first day of the week differently (Sunday vs Monday)?
A Lobby navigation link needs to pass two separate `$filter` conditions (like both a Project ID and a Sub Project ID) to the target page, but only one of the two ever actually gets applied no matter how the URL is structured.
A Default Value expression on a text field using a function (like `count(["*"])` or `#TODAY#`) just returns the literal text typed in, instead of evaluating the function.
Passing today's date into a Lobby navigation link's URL filter using a substitution like `#TODAY#` against a truncated-date attribute doesn't seem to filter correctly, while a hardcoded date value in the same style of filter works fine.
Using a Context Substitution Value (CSV) date variable with arithmetic in a Lobby datasource's WHERE clause (like `'#START_OF_THIS_WEEK#' -1`) throws an error, even though the same variable used alone works fine.
A Lobby Element's Line Chart with a "Split on" column configured for multiple series doesn't render multiple series correctly, even though the equivalent chart worked fine in the older on-premise product.
Trying to make a numeric-comparison filter (like Quantity on Hand greater than zero) apply by default whenever a list page is opened doesn't work through the documented Conditional/Enumeration Filter mechanism in Page Designer.
Is it possible to create a Lobby data source directly from an existing Saved Search, the way it could be built from a projection/view otherwise?
Is it possible to have a custom page or command dynamically open a different target page depending on a field's value (like a custom attribute), rather than always navigating to one fixed page?
Is there an Appearance Configuration setting to add an environment-identifying prefix (like "CFG" or "PROD") to the browser tab title, to tell environments apart when several are open at once?
Clicking a reference-type custom attribute's navigation link (zoom) takes the user to the right target page, but doesn't filter it down to the specific related record — it lands on an unfiltered list or the base page instead.
Ahead of a migration to the web client, is there a way to make Sticky Notes visible but not editable, since the presentation object's "Read Only Allowed" setting doesn't seem to actually prevent editing?
A new Lead's Default Language field starts blank and has to be manually selected every time, rather than inheriting a sensible default like the creating user's own language.
Is there a way to unset/clear a user's default homepage in the web client, so they see the Welcome page (with recent screens) again instead of a fixed page — since Account Settings has no equivalent to the old client's clearable homepage setting?
A newly added custom field's Column Visible or Visible condition never applies as expected on a list's columns (even though the same condition style works fine on groups), and the field just always shows regardless of the condition.
Is it possible to build a stacked (composite) bar chart in a Lobby, where a single month's bar is split into segments by category, rather than each category getting its own separate bar?
In a Person-reference field's dropdown and Find dialog (like selecting an approver on a Change Request approval step), only the Person ID is shown/searchable — is there a way to also show or search by the person's Name?
An Object Connection built to link a page (like a Risk Analysis) to an entity that isn't normally offered in Object Connections (like an Equipment Serial) lets you pick the entity, but its Object Key field has no lookup dropdown, forcing users to type the full raw key manually.
Clicking a column header to sort by that field works on some list screens but appears to do nothing on others, even though this should presumably work the same way everywhere in the web client.
Is there a way to automatically start a new line in a list/table (like after scanning a barcode whose data includes a Tab character), rather than requiring a manual click on the "+" add-line button?
A custom attribute added to an entity used by an Assistant (like a request-creation wizard) doesn't show up on the Assistant page, and a value entered through a workaround group doesn't persist after the record is created.
A Lobby Image element shows a black "broken image" cross in the middle even though the image's URL is confirmed genuinely accessible (opening it directly in a new browser tab works fine).
Is it possible to save a filter together with the column sort order that was applied to its results, the way saved filters worked in Enterprise Explorer?
A navigation link configured inside a View command group works correctly in CFG/UAT but redirects to a different, similarly-named page in PROD, even though the command group configuration looks identical.
How can an information or warning pop-up message be triggered from a custom event in the web client, since the classic `Client_SYS.Add_Warning` call used in Enterprise Explorer doesn't seem to do anything there?
A Page Designer Group's Visible condition referencing a custom field (like `record.Cf_Some_Field != null`) doesn't work as expected, even though the syntax looks correct based on documentation examples.
Is there a way to automatically refresh a page/form after a custom event action, workflow, or command changes the underlying data, so the user doesn't have to manually refresh to see the update?
A Command Group's Visible condition correctly hides the command for one specific record state, but adding more states to exclude breaks the condition entirely, showing the command even for states it should now also hide it for.
Is it possible to hide a specific column (like a Site field) from a search-result selector/dropdown list through Page Designer?
Is it possible to add a custom Command Button to the Document/Attachment tab inside a page's Attachment Panel, since Page Designer doesn't show an obvious way to configure it directly from the page itself?
How can the correct `tree/` navigation URL be derived for a specific tree-enabled screen (like a custom navigator), when there's no documented list mapping screens to their tree URLs?
A custom attribute defined as a multi-select enumeration doesn't offer a search/filter option anywhere (neither the main search nor a list's own search), even with the Searchable flag enabled, unlike a single-select enumeration or a plain text attribute.
