Grouping of LCS projects into folders
We're suggesting a feature to enable grouping of LCS projects into maintainable folders. At the moment all of the created projects for a user are shown in a single view which will render poorly when there are dozens of projects. Furthermore creating e.g. Test projects should be able to easily se...

Change time zone on LCS Environment monitoring for each user's region
The time zone on LCS Environment monitoring page is always UTC although there are a lot of users using Dynamics 365 Finance & Operations around the world. "On LCS: Environment monitoring > Overview > UTC Time" It would be useful if we can choose our time zone for each user's region. Or it would...

LCS export tier 2 data to asset library in BAK format
We have developers and analysts who have local VMs as well as tier 1 cloud environments we would like to regularly refresh with Production data. The current process is lengthy and cumbersome, and makes it impossible to be pro-active when trying to investigate urgent issues in Production. 1) re...
Thank you for your feedback.
We are not considering the suggestion at this time due to the following reason: Azure SQL platform only supports exporting a database schema and data in the .bacpac format. Traditional .BAK format is not available. To quickly troubleshoot data from PROD, you can use the documentation here:

Ability to schedule self service features in Lifecycle Services
Currently the only way to execute self service features in LCS is on demand, e.g. Maintain>Move database. Given that most maintenance operations need to happen out of hours, I think it would be very useful to be able to schedule them instead of having to wait for them to run interactively. ...

Thank you for your feedback.
This is a great suggestion! We will consider this in our roadmap. However, instead of adding the ability to schedule multiple service requests we will be exposing APIs to do database refresh. This will enable you to use any kind of an orchestration framework, Logic Apps, Microsoft Flow or azure automation to do this on a daily basis.
