I would also add to this the new possibilities for customizing the menu and the dashboard filters. Although the new way, from a dev perspective, may seem a little more confusing at first, it now allows for a much more intuitive and friendly UI/UX.
The new functionalities have added some complexity for the developers but much more flexibility for the customer's needs. It's way easier as a dev to screw it up, but if done properly the customer will end up with better results. We need to revise our internal development processes and practices now, but if we can offer more value, we don't mind.
I have to agree that Dashboard level filters are something that i've been really missing (I've some experience with Tableau where it is an obvious feature).
It closes the gap to BI system, and allows to achieve more in WEBCON itself which is great for smaller companies not having BI tools.
On the UI change offtopic though - I get why many people might be upset about it, especially when applications have a lot of UI customizations.
This is why i always try to avoid it as much as possible - it's the platform that decides how things should look, we are paying for not having to deal with it.
UI / UX designers should deal with it, and delivering Fluent 2 designed by Microsoft is from my perspective really smart, as it aligns perfectly with Windows 11 UI, and all the Office apps stack which is still default in most corporations.
