Good afternoon, first congratulations on the new version of 2.4, very interesting new contributions that contribute to improve the product. In our company we have been waiting a long time for this version because we believed (perhaps mistakenly) that the functionality to group by columns in the DataGrid would be implemented, also allowing to be able to do summations, etc, on these groupings, in short a functionality that has accompanied the different versions of Cuba for many years and that was not integrated in the new developments for Jmix.
We have several applications developed and about 1,500 users using them, this functionality is very important to us, so much so that we did a survey for the possible migration to Jmix, explaining to users that they would not have this functionality available, the response was unanimous, they preferred to continue using the versions based on Cuba rather than migrate to Jmix and that it did not have this functionality.
The company’s management was not happy that later versions of a platform did not contemplate the possibility of having some very implemented improvements (this one among them but also others), coinciding also with the increase in the price of licenses that was made (which we saw it logical and positive because the product deserved it), but it is difficult to explain these increases in subsequent versions of the product do not have previous functionalities.
Sorry for the long text, but I think it is convenient to show how some things (even if they are small) can affect the development of a company, for now we are still frozen in the update to Jmix and although we have seen that it is possible that next year this functionality may be available, it is a long way to go after waiting quite a long time for it.
Can there be an alternative so that this functionality is available sooner without having to wait for the new version next year?, and thus be able to plan and begin the migration of all our applications to Jmix.
Thanks and greetings.
