Remove or Disable Obsolete/Non-functioning Options

Remove or Disable Obsolete/Non-functioning Options

I was going to make this as a tongue-in-cheek troll post, but then I figured there is a serious side to it.

It's with regards to one of my previous Idea posts:

Essentially, there's an option to enforce a value for ECO properties.  But as confirmed by Autodesk, it isn't supported therefore it doesn't actually do anything even though the option is there, leading you to believe it should work:

My Idea is... if something doesn't work, isn't supported, can't function for whatever technical reason, remove the option from the product or grey it out.  

 

I honestly don't mind if something isn't supported.  I do mind wasting an hour or two scratching my head blowing time trying to make it work when all along the code behind the option just isn't there, it's disabled, it's wasted my time and annoyed me to boot.  

 

This isn't restricted specifically to ECO properties, this applies to all other red herring empty duff options in Vault.  The Item watermark 'transparent' colour option is one of a few I could back this up with! Smiley Tongue

Thanks for sharing your Idea. We use this forum to guide product development and help users in the best way we can based on voting. We occasionally merge Ideas or archive old ones to keep the forum working properly- it ensures there is room for people to review new Ideas and that the most relevant and meaningful ones can gain votes.

We’re archiving this Idea because it's been on the board for well over a year and hasn't received many votes from the community and/or not aligned with the current Vault Roadmap. If you want to raise it again and try to gain more support, you're welcome to do so. We’ve found that pictures and mock-ups can help get concepts across and win more votes from other users.
