Setting data store column datatypes based on class word and other data store setup notes

  • 1.  Setting data store column datatypes based on class word and other data store setup notes

    Anthem uses class words on our columns, such as _tx in a file I'm currently working.  

    When creating a data store, it would be beneficial to be able to set all datatypes to string where the fieldname ends in a specific string.  The tables I'm working with are wide, with hundreds of columns; it would be nice to quickly and easily set and know they've all been set.

    On a similar note, when setting datatype, if I change a datatype then click on, to the next one, I get a message stating that I have unsaved changes.  My options are to proceed, yes or no.  I would love to see an additional option to accept and proceed. 

    Also, when I'm on the Fields tab of a data store, and I hit save, it takes me to the details tab.  I would prefer to save and not change tab - that seems more logical than changing the view without explicit user selection.
