Hi Team, is there any updates on this?

Gorgsenegger

So as suggested in the github issue, the question/request was moved here. Almost 50 people upvoted but I cannot see that there is any reaction from the development team regarding it.

How do you track this? What are your thoughts (issue started in 2019)? Thank you!

This issue has been tracked over years now and still no tangible fix/update announced. All the threads in the community are stale. can we please get an update on when this will be available?
