Hi - Understanding that these fields were just recently added to the instance of IT Planning, and is a very welcome update. We would like these fields added to the processing, when publishing plans from IT Planning to CT. These fields will help identify updates made to our metadata.

Turbonomic | Added support for Parquet format in the CUR report.

Some customers have already exported their cost reports, but instead of using gzip - text/csv, they are using Parquet, which is generally more efficient. In such cases, they have to recreate the reports, so it would be helpful if Parquet format co...
