Workflow Imports
When moving workflows between environments (e.g. Dev, Test, Prod) it would be great if we did not have to go into each of the workflows to update GUID references for Queues, Users, etc.
CRM Configuration Exports
It would be great if it was possible to export (SRS Report, etc.)
- a list of field definitions (field name, settings, values - if a pick list, form, section, etc.) out of an SRS Report. Clients ask for this frequently.
