IBM Data and AI Ideas Portal for Customers


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against products and services offered by the IBM Data & AI organization. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).


Shape the future of IBM!

We invite you to shape the future of IBM, including product roadmaps, by submitting ideas that matter to you the most. Here's how it works:


Search existing ideas

Start by searching and reviewing ideas and requests to enhance a product or service. Take a look at ideas others have posted, and add a comment, vote, or subscribe to updates on them if they matter to you. If you can't find what you are looking for,

Enable copying of links in the Designer

Currently links can not be copied standalone, you can copy a stage/activity and delete the stage and all links you don't want to achieve the result. Especially for Stages where you have no Mapping folder (i.e. Shared Container, Modify Stage) to get your Input Column Information to the Output but also for other reasons it would be very nice to be able copy links with a simple click on the link and CTRL-C+CTRL-V or with a rightclick copy

Enabling the copy pasting of links without the workaround of copying a stage that is attached to it, would improve the overall work experience and increase the speed of development with DataStage

This Idea has already been entered as an RFE
