I concur with Kellie, you're going to have to edit each automation to filter out where you don't want the automation to affect.

Will there ever be a way to control what Adobe makes available to our users without our ability to hide it? For example; admins can't hide Priorities even though it's disabled, admins couldn't hide Blueprints without complaining very loudly, admins can't hide the Boards button in projects, admins ca...

That's because you're creating a new database entry with each conversion, with its own ref number. If you preserve the original issue as Doug mentioned, you can reference it with the resolvable object on the new object.

This sounds like a fun puzzle. If you could post your code, I'd be interested in noodling with it.

In some other languages, MM means "many to many" and OM means "one to many".

I agree with both Doug and Skye. One "workaround" I have used is not to sort by if a form exists but by if it's been filled out. To achieve this, put a required field on a form and then group by that field.  If it hasn't been filled out, it might as well not exist.

To add to Doug's correct answer; the more you sort or group, the slower it goes—more collection columns=more processing time, more calc fields=slower display times, etc.

Unfortunately, this will not happen. That's just not how databases work. The only way to do this is to have different fields. You can, however, add a number to the field name if you need more than one: "Flyer size 1," "Flyer Size 2," etc.

You can already set up user "templates" in the form of a regular user. I have found that copying an existing user and changing the name and email is a LOT easier than creating a user from scratch. 1. Create a user and fill out all the info 2. Deactivate the user when you want to create a new user fr...

I would add the ability to open AND close all sections. This is a pretty basic function that should have been there from the start. On the Mac, you can hold the option key to expand or collapse all folders. You can do this in most Linux flavours by using the asterisk key.
