Initializing a Web SDK "Data Variable" Data Element type, similar to "XDM object"New

Description -  I LOVE (yes, that's uppercase!) the Web SDK "Data Variable" Data Element Type in conjunction with the "Update variable" action. Especially with the new UI, it looks almost exactly like AppMeasurement, even better. What I am missing is a way to initialize the DE in a similar way an "XDM object" can be defined directly in the Data Element section, to set an initial state, and which you can build upon in your rules to temporarily enhance it. After the rules have completed, the initial state is reset. In my current setup with the ACDL (Adobe Client Data Layer), I need a standalone rule that is listening to "all events" and runs before any other ACDL triggered rule that further updates the variable, just to achieve this functionality. Or am I missing a step / functionality? As a workaround, I could likely also create a "custom code" DE instead, that defines the core data structure as JS object, and can then be merged with the variable part and the result used instead. This would remove the need for an additional rule, but would also require you to be savvy enough to write that code yourself. Why is this feature important to you? - It creates the need for unnecessary workarounds to set the globally applied pieces on the DE. How would you like the feature to work? - The XDM object can also be defined in the Data Elements section, why not the variable data element as well?In the DE definition, why not already display the same UI that is presented in the update variable step?  Current Behaviour - Cumbersome additional step/rule needed to set commonly used parts on the data element e.g., through a custom rule that runs before the actual page view or interaction rule

Project Schedule Should Override Individual User's ScheduleNew

Current Behaviour / Description - Both the project and individual user settings have an option to select a schedule. If you select the project setting to have option A (no holidays) and the individual user setting to have option B (company holidays), the project will not use the project setting option A if an individual user is assigned a task. If two or more people are assigned a task however, then the task will default to the project setting of option A. The reason the project setting works is due to the system project preferences: When multiple users are assigned to a task, use the schedule of the....Project. How would you like the feature to work - We should be able to use the project setting to override the individual user's setting.  Why is this feature important to you - Users work on different types of projects. Some are more time sensitive that others so we should be able to select the schedule that works best for the project type. Additional Notes: This really becomes a problem with you have predecessors with long lag times or durations. Tasks can get pushed out pretty far from all the vacation and time off. Another idea would be to have the project exclude holidays and time off when calculating duration / lag time but avoid scheduling the actual due date on a holiday.  For additional information, refer to: Case Number 00406587 - Schedule functionality not working as expected [ ref:!00D3006HBH.!5004X01z7BqB:ref ]
