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 -
Missing search field in content area popup

CMS Editor - Allowed Types - Restriction Info
In the CMS Editor, when a content area has AllowedTypes specified, it always lists types that are not allowed in the hint text. However, the list that's not allowed is not complete.
We expect the only the types that are allowed to be listed.
Example
[AllowedTypes(typeof(CustomDataAttributeBlock]
public virtual ContentArea? GAAttributes { get; set; }
CMS Editor shows:
Only Custom Attribute Block types, but not Form elements, Form step, Rich text (with placeholders, or Form Location URL.
Expected:
Only Custom Attribute Block types4 votes -
Trademark & superscript text in content
At the moment, there's no way to superscript trademark or registered symbols in the copy within the email. The only way to edit this is within an element.

Change the red asterisk on required fields
No other site or system I have seen have a red asterisk when property is filled correctly. I think you should find another icon to show required, not one that is used for errors.

Adjust due time for an entire workflow/task instead of each step
The due date time automatically populates as 12:00 p.m., or to your current time when adding steps to a workflow. I want the ability to bulk adjust the time for every step in a task. For example, on our team, most of us quit working around 5 p.m. CST - so I want to be able to make the time 5 p.m. for all steps within a task. Having to change each one is tedious, and often steps will show up as "overdue" in my queue when I really have until the end of the day to complete them.

A true unpublish option or the ability to schedule the end of expiration
A true unpublish option would be a huge asset to the CMS. If that's not possible (or at least not possible soon, then the ability to schedule an end to expiration should work.
It might sound like a small thing, but being able to unpublish and then schedule for republishing can be the difference between a couple of clicks and rebuilding an entire page (or pages, if you're very unlucky. In the current system, if something needs to be pulled off the site you have to expire it. But if you want to put it back up at a specific…6 votes -
Unchecking "show all languages" in back-end (sites tab isn't saved.
When you uncheck the "show all languages" button (sites tab and then switch language/do a page reload, the choice isn't saved.
It's really annoying for our content editor, since for our multisite project, one of the sites only has very few cultures available.
The backend saves nearly all settings, even when you click the "pin" on the site tree or assets panel & you refresh, it is being saved. So I don't see why this checkbox wouldn't be saved.
I reported this as a bug but because it's been like this for so long, it was recommended to create this…1 vote -
Time zone issue affecting published Date
|
| When publishing content we are experiencing an issue with the published date displayed on site consistently being one day earlier than the date the content is actually published. We have the following request to enable us to resolve this issue.
Is it possible to use the .Net 6 built in type DateOnly in CMS 12+ ? Setting time zone on the server as suggested does not help in scenarios where we don't want to neither use nor display a date at all because the internal timezone conversion places dates on the day before in some cases. This can…1 vote -
Saving content model fields with HTML tags should be possible if validateRequest is set to true
As a CMS editor I want to be able to save content model fields, if they containt HTML tags.
<system.web>
<pages validateRequest="true" />
</system.web>
Use content model containing a property where Description contains HTML tag, e.g.:
[CultureSpecific]
[Display(
Name = "Gültigkeitsabfrage Text",
Description = "<ul><li>text</li></ul>",
GroupName = SystemTabNames.Content,
Order = 150]
public virtual XhtmlString MainBody { get; set; }
The current behavior is that is throws a validation exception due to posting unescaped HTML tag.1 vote -
Add dependencies to blocks
It would be great if blocks could be shown depending on "Dependencies" just like it can be done with form elements. E.g. a block is hidden until somebody clicks a link (button on the page.
It provides me the possibility to add 2 different (CRM integrated forms and show one of them depending on the choice of the visitor.
Of course it should not only work for the above-mentioned example.1 vote -
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?

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 -
More efficient loading of content area items
As a developer with aims for high performance, I would like the IContentAreaLoader interface to have a batch load method, to load all content area items at once, whether from inline content, cache or database. All while keeping the internal order of the items.
If I want to load all content area items at once, using IContentLoader.GetItems, then the order of the items is not guaranteed to be kept. So I am left with enumerating the list of items, and then calling IContentAreaLoader.LoadContent for each item.
If this is done, then I would like you to also use in in…1 vote -
Shared Blocks no longer showing UI hint that block is "Shared"
I've noticed that blocks that are "shared" and coming from a folder no longer show that they are shared in the UI.

Preview of documents when edititing.
In the previous version there has been an icon like a globe in the top right corner of Epi's editor where you have been able to open the current page you are editing in a new window with its external link (without seeing it in the editor. That ability is gone in version 12.22.3 but was present in version 12.20.0 of the EPIserver.CMS package.
We need that to preview our documents and to get the exakt url to the webpage.5 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.

Unpublish content from the "publish" menu
Currently the way to "Unpublish" (as in expire content in the CMS isn't very intuitive for people who don't have lots of Optimizely CMS experience. Especially editors coming from other platforms.
I've built a CMS 12 plugin that solves this and puts the "Unpublish" functionality right there in the "Publish" menu which I've gotten some good feedback on asking for it in the platform itself so here we are.

Enable drag and drop for PropertyList<T> in the editing experience
Would it be possible to enable drag & drop in the editing experience of property list similar to content areas.
PropertyList are sometime favored in content type architecture as they take less editorial time to setup then blocks.33 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
