    Multi-Value Paste Filter for Table

    Currently, IBM Apptio does not allow users to paste a list of values (such as IDs, Names, Project Codes, Cost Center IDs, or other fields) directly into a table filter in a single action. A highly valuable enhancement would be the ability to copy ...

    Instana CPU and MEMORY reservation(requests) at startup is much too high in relation to the real utilization. Results in high number of CPU/MEM at startup which is not used in running state. (Expensive resources)

    Add ability to bulk update Generated (Enrichment) Editable Tables like you can for Normal Editable Tables
