    Add Process Id to the Task Details page and allow stopping a task while running

    Currently, the Task Details page within the Task Manager doesn't show the process id of the Task while it is running neither allows the user to stop the task while it is running. Many times I've seen tasks running forever due to bugs, bad queries ...

    Enhance CREATE DATABASE by adding WITH INTEROP and WITH ANALYTICS options

    While it's very convenient to use the CREATE DATABASE command to quickly create a namespace with two databases suffixed with D for data and C for code, it would also be useful to add options to automatically make this namespace immediately availab...

    Allow form JSON Objects with variables without parentesis

    Currently ObjectScript needs developers to use parenthesis when embedding variables into JSON, e.g. we set authToken and respUser variables and return it in JSON result of a method : quit {"token":(authToken),"user":(respUser)} But it is more obvi...

    Allow to the community to choose one functionality developed by them to be included in the standard

    InterSystems promote the development of functionalities that the standard doesn't have. Would be great if each year the community vote for the best implementation to be included in the core of the product. It would show that the work of the develo...

    Create standardized llms.txt documentation for InterSystems products to improve LLM code generation quality for ObjectScript, Caché, and IRIS development

    ObjectScript and InterSystems technologies are underrepresented in LLM training data, leading to poor code generation, hallucinations, and incorrect syntax suggestions. A standardized llms.txt file would provide LLMs with authoritative, structured...

    Fix "Daily Points!" to mimic old behaviour.

    With the old Global Masters, the daily points rush reset at midnight of the new day (or so, never stayed up till midnight to check) but - for example - if I did my daily points rush at 4pm local on Tuesday, I could still get my Wednesday daily poi...

    Add SQL Query History

    There is no way to see the history of SQL queries on a particular IRIS server. it'd be good to have for debugging and performance improvement helper. Yes, there are statements with Frozen parameters available, but sometimes one needs to see the ex...

    Superset language for ObjectScript

    With the coming of dynamic objects I feel that at this point we need something that ressembles TypeScript. So my suggestion is for having a superset language that can be transpiled to either classes or routines, whichever fits the bill. The idea i...

    Give Serial objects access to its parent

    Sometimes (often?) it's handy to get a reference to the parent object of a serial object.It can be done by a explicit Parent property and an Add method on the parent, but I think it should be there out-of-the-box. Btw: why isn't there a category O...
