Allow creation of Alerts from Application Insights
It would be useful to be able to create custom Azure Alerts from Application Insights for a DXP hosted site, but we can't due to permissions.

Add built in support for timezone agnostic DateTime
Episervers standard behaviour is to convert DateTime between database, application and editors depending on what time zone the application and editors are in. If would be nice if there would be built in properties (or editor hints to enable timezone agnostic date+time or date only selections. There's a blog post how to enable this written by Casper Aasgard (https://fellow.aagaardrasmussen.dk/2016/04/23/get-predictive-time-zones-in-datetime-properties/, but this requires you to add custom editors to the site. However, there's no premade extension for date-selection only.
This is probably quite easy to add as a standard functionality to the product, which would save a lot of…16 votes -
Provide status icons for content in content area editor
When content is expired in the CMS content tree, it displays a red clock icon to indicate expired status. When editing content in "All Properties" mode references inside content areas that are expired becomes hard to spot unless explicitly switching to "On-Page Editing". Having the status icons present inside content areas would be great assistance to editors that want to work with clean content.

Allow developers to directly access databases in lower level environments
As a developer, allowing direct database access to lower level environments, such as integration, to troubleshoot issues or run queries to confirm schema/validate data. Direct access allows developers to do this quickly and efficiently, as the current ways of working with exports can be very cumbersome and time consuming for large databases.

Adding multiple blocks under Personalization group
EPiServer.CMS version 12.22.7
When trying to add multiple blocks under one personalization group with the same visitorgroup, they can't be merged together as it is today. And when trying to do this as in the attached image, it is just the top item of the same visitorgroup that renders.
There is something that does not play well here. The correct behaviour we think should be to easely merge items with the same visitorgroup.13 votes -
UserProfile visitor group criterion should not throw an exception if current user is logged in through external OpenID Connect provider ...
...such as AzureAD / Entra ID.
As a site administrator of a site using mixed-mode authentication (both AspNetIdentity for local users and OpenID Connect for AzureAD / Entra ID users, I want to know that my site will not break if I set up a visitor group using the Site Criteria > User Profile criteria. Currently on CMS version 12.31 I get several exceptions if I have such a visitor group defined and I log in as an oidc user. These occur on pages that use the Search & Navigation FilterForVisitor( method and in the CMS editor, causing the page…11 votes -
Prevent version history comments from being deleted/archived.
Currently page comments are removed during the change log truncation process. These comments are associated to the version history and can be used to provide valuable information regarding each content change.
Our content authors rely on these comments for content audits and other reviews. Ideally these should be maintained as long as the version associated with the comment. Perhaps the retention period could be configurable depending on the site needs.11 votes -
Convert blocks
As a developer/administrator, I want to be able to convert blocks like I can convert pages so that I can merge blocks resulting in a cleanup of content and less work for our content editors.
This isn't a new feature request and has been popular on the old forum; see: https://world.optimizely.com/forum/legacy-forums/Feature-requests/Thread-Container/2014/9/Convert-Blocks/. (https://world.optimizely.com/forum/legacy-forums/Feature-requests/Thread-Container/2014/9/Convert-Blocks/
In May 2020, Tomas Hensrud Gulla did a blog post on how he took the existing Convert Pages and made his own Convert Blocks variant with relatively little effort. See https://www.gulla.net/en/blog/convert-episerver-blocks/. (https://www.gulla.net/en/blog/convert-episerver-blocks/11 votes -
Replicate the DXP environment locally using Docker
We are looking into setting up a "DXP like environment" using docker. Looking through the log files in the paasportal, I can se that the website app is turned into a docker image and hosted in an Azure container registry [myenv].azurecr.io.
It would be beneficial if we either could get access to this image repository or access the DockerFile used to create the image. If we had any of those, we could quite easily spin up a container locally that would allow us to debug potential problems that arise on our production web site.
We could of course debug using…10 votes -
Increase help text visibility
As a Digital Marketing Manager, I've observed that CMS editors often neglect help texts. To enhance visibility and address this issue, I believe implementing an option to display these help texts immediately would significantly improve the situation.

Set a default time zone for date/time editing
Currently in the CMS, time/date pickers are associated to the editors local time. This is problematic, because we have editors all over the US. Entering in time/date information incorrectly will lead to our event registration announcements displaying the wrong time.
For example, our servers are set to Central Standard Time, so we display date/times, we need to assume they were entered in as that time zone as well, or the time will be off.
Ideally we should be able to force the date/time picker to use the same time zone as the server.9 votes -
Make Language Manager smarter - extend translate API with IContent and Property
The Translate Interface in language manager add-on (EPiServer.Labs.LanguageManager, to make translations smarter, It would be benificial to add IContent and propertyName. With that, we can get Custom Property Attributes, or other properties to understand better the context.
Change from
TranslateTextResult Translate(
string inputText,
string fromLang,
string toLang;
to
TranslateTextResult Translate(
string inputText,
CultureInfo fromLang,
CultureInfo toLang,
IContent currentContent, //or similar ContentReference
string propertyName
;
With this, we could make the translations smarter by knowing the context of the block or page. We could also read any custom attribute on the property if any.9 votes -
As an editor, I'd like to see where my content blocks are used in the Catalog.
Currently, if we author a block within the catalog but then go to make edits to that block we often see "this block isn't used anywhere" but that is false. It would be helpful to know all the placements within the catalog.

Search capability missing from select page or block dialog.
If site has thousands pages and blocks, it is very difficult to select correct page or block to link each other. Current you have to browse via tree to find correct content to create link or select block.
Select page or content dialog should have search field as it is in page or block tree. This speed up content editor to find correct page or block.8 votes -
Image Version updates from the DAM should automatically be reflected on webpages when you are using Renditions
An updated "Version" of an image from the CMP/DAM is automatically reflected on a published webpage; however, if you are pulling in a "Rendition" of the image from the DAM, the updated Version is not shown. For Renditions, you have to use the Asset Picker and select the image again and then republish the webpage to see the change (new image version.
Our content authors make heavy use of Renditions and would like image version updates from the DAM to be automatically reflected on webpages, just like with original images.8 votes -
Expand Search array with scroll bar or add Search Results page when search returns more than 10 results
When I search for content using the Opti CMS Edit | Page | Left Panel Tree w/ Search field, I only see 10 max results. I would like for their to either be a horizontal scroll bar to view more than 10, and/or when I press Enter, the results appear on a search results page/view.
The site my team supports has hundreds of product detail pages, and they must find the product name on the front-end site before they can search for it in the Opti CMS when search results exceed 10.8 votes -
Add horizontal scrollbar to page/asset pane and model windows.
As a CMS user, the page pane, asset pane, and page/asset selector modal should display horizontal scroll bars when trying to view deeply nested content items. This will improve navigation and prevent content item names from being cut off.

Retain versions correctly for a content move in CMS tree (to fix invalid editor history
As a content editor I want to be able to move content (for example a page in the CMS tree. When I do this at present a new version is created but this is merged with the previous update for that content. I want a new version to be created and the old version to be retained in order that the true date/time and editor of any changes is visible from the version history.
For example:

* Editor B updates and publishes the same page on 15 Oct…7 votes
