Ability to smoke-test more than 1 site during smooth deploy (slot domains)
Ability to smoke-test more than 1 site during smooth deploy (slot domains)
As a CMS developer and QA specialist we want to be able to smoke-test multiple sites so that we can detect potential issues on all our sites during deployment with DXP Cloud Platform to our multi-site CMS platform.
When we deploy to PREP/PROD we get a temporary SLOT to run our smoke-tests against. For example:
https://projectidprep-slot.dxcloud.episerver.net/
https://projectidprod-slot.dxcloud.episerver.net/
These are the default URL provided by Optimizely and are configured on the first website. We would like to be able to smoke-test multiple sites on the SLOT instance.
We could…

Custom reports in CMS
They would like to see reports for pages where they have a lot of content to list the blocks and then pieces of information specific fields.
Custom reporting functionality needed for content inventory management
- Create reports by picking block/page template and selecting specific fields
- Current process requires developer/agency hours for custom reports
- Want ad hoc reporting: “insights report with just title, URL, publish date, authors”. or professionals reports with name, bio, etc.
- Would free up agency hours for higher-value work

CMS Page Previews
When previewing unpublished pages in the CMS, nested blocks (such as unpublished child blocks within a parent block) do not display correctly at the page level, making it impossible for publishers to see the full layout and content as it will appear when published. This limitation forces the team to rely on the Advanced Review plugin, which does show all nested unpublished content but introduces extra steps and performance issues.

Avoid incorrect Instance restarts through PAAS Portal
I'm an Optimizely Admin, who does have full access to PAAS Portal.
Can you please consider an additional prompt on the restart (atleast for PROD), so the restart wouldn't be triggered mistakenly.
Also, considering the rolling restart would be ideal most of the time, can you enable the option "Restart One instance at a time" checked by default.
Thanks!

Computed readonly field for a content type
A way to define a property or a method within a given content type having the following characteristics:
- It is a computed property: the value will be determined by querying other related database tables
- The property will be displayed as read-only / disabled on the Optimizely dashboard / edit content typeThe next approach does not display the property in Optimizely Admin UI
[Display( Name = "Total Price", Order = 130, GroupName = GroupNames.Plm)] public virtual decimal TotalPrice => Items?.Sum(i => i.Quantity * i.UnitPrice) ?? 0;This happened because it looks like content graph, SearchText, and GetSearchableProperties() in…
5 votesGetting such a property to show up in the UI is tricky since the calculation is located in the typed C# model, and the UI operates on a generic database model. Also, adding support for calculated properties in the properties would always come with a lot of constraints as only calculations the CMS are aware of could be handled, and you might need to use data from a third-party service to complete it.
I have reached out to engineering regarding your question about Graph/S&N indexing.

Support Newer .NET WebApplicationBuilder
I would like to use the newer WebApplicationBuilder / IHostApplicationBuilder introduced in .NET 6 to initialize the CMS instead of the .NET Core 3 method of using IHostBuilder, because .NET Aspire does not support IHostBuilder. The ConfigureCmsDefaults method does not support WebApplicationBuilder, and even though the following code will compile, the CMS is not usable:
var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);
builder.Host.ConfigureCmsDefaults();4 votes -
Upload very large single files using cms
People are needing to upload very large files, such as video files and are running into Cloudflare file size limits.
Being able to upload a very large file into the storage blobs using the Deployment API and then being able to refer to it in the CMS may be a way to work around the size limits in Cloudflare.
The problem trying to do this now is that uploading via the deployment API won't make it into the same container that the CMS is configured to read from. Also, usually when people add media, a reference in the DB is…

Support for Trash Status Filtering via exposing _deleted property in query filters to improve duplicate result handling
We have use cases where we need to search content to determine if an item is in the Trash. Currently, we use the cg-include-deleted: true header as described in the documentation. However, we have observed that duplicate results are returned from the Graph for Content() items.
One result represents the original location (tombstone marker) with the property _deleted: null, while the most recent version in the index has _deleted: true.
Although we can filter out duplicates on the client side, this approach is not ideal.
We would like the _deleted property to be available as part of ContentWhereInput so that…4 votesGood news - this idea is now being explored by our product and design teams. We’re researching potential solutions and scoping out what an implementation might look like. We’ll share updates here as our thinking evolves.

Syncing folder types/names to GraphQL index
We have a need to query content under certain folder from GraphQL API. At the moment we can query the parent GUIDs from a block, but it only returns a list of GUIDs. It returns them in a certain order, so it is possible to find out from there which is which folder, but it would be easier if we could query also the name of the folder. At the moment GraphQL API does not index the folder information, so we would like the folder information also to be synced to the index.

Is there any way to identify the user who changed the access rights?
Is there a way to track or identify the user who modified the access rights in Episerver/CMS? It appears that someone has changed the access permissions using the 'Set Access Rights' feature.
We need to determine who made these changes to ensure proper access control and prevent unauthorized modifications. Is there any audit log, system event tracking, or CMS activity history that can help us trace the user responsible for this action? Any insights or recommendations on how to retrieve this information would be greatly appreciated.4 votes -
Improve UI for a better editing experience on language settings and similar popups
While the updated CMS area in Optimizely 12 has improved in many ways, some parts of the UI have been changed in a way that makes editing more difficult.
One such area is the language settings, where previously only languages that had settings associated with them were displayed. It was not until editing the settings that all languages were displayed. The UI is also more spacious now in general, with more padding and larger font sizes, which leads to less items visible at one time.
Furthermore, the popup is too narrow to display all columns when more than 4-5 languages…4 votes -

Easier cleanup of unused blocks
Maintaining the number of blocks is important to editors. When using Powershell module you can get a list of blocks that are not in use so editors can maintain content on the site.
The problem is that blocks that are located in "For This Page" folders does not contain the page information in the breadcrumb (see attachment. This means that it's hard to find the folder containing this block if you want to delete the block. Extending the breadcrumb to include the owner (page of the folder "For This Page" would help the editors to know the location.4 votes -
CMS 12 removed the fallback language in content area UI
In our solution, we have 31 different languages, and thus a lot of language fallbacks both for pages and blocks. In CMS 11, we could easily spot the blocks in a content area that were a fallback, it would be a slightly darker grey and also had the locale name it was falling back to on it. In CMS 12, this functionality disappeared. Our editors use a lot of blocks on their pages and are missing this sorely. Could you please consider readding this feature?

Bring back Smart Publish
Please put Smart Publish back in the Publish menu. It disappeared in the move to CMS 12 and the only thing my team can find that's even close is to the same functionality is to:
1. Create a new Project.
2. Make any changes in the new project.
3. Hit Overview.
4. Publish Items from Overview .
Not only is that not intuitive at all, but it's significantly more work (especially if you forget and make a bunch of changes in the Primary Draft, because then you have to redo them in the new Project.4 votes -
