Use conditional UI in list view

It would be great if we could use the conditional UI in the list view in applications. Currently, it seems the conditional UI only works in the main tabs/non-list-fields. Example use case: In the list view, highlight certain WOs in red/bold text.

Match the default Long Description Size to BIRT Reports

Currently, if you set a font size on the new system property webclient.richtext.defaultFontSize, it doesn't apply to BIRT reports that use that long description. It will stay the as extra small, no matter what size you set on the property. This is...

Attribute formula comments/description

For attribute formulas: It would be helpful if we could add comments to complex formulas that we’ve written…to describe what the formulas do and how they work. In other words, could IBM please add a DESCRIPTION field to the ATTRFORMULA table.
