SAP Workflow improvements – at last!
Good news for all Workflowers out there.
Because of the massive support for the SAP Customer Influence program by our group (thanks to Sue Keohan), I got a flurry of emails today about Workflow improvements that have been delivered. There are probably more – I didn’t sign up for all of them – but I thought I’d share these. Let us know if you received notification of any others.

***Edited to add some more (thanks to Ronen Weisz ) :
Adding additional functions for _WFSYST – for example ‘concatenate’, this is still a workaround but a nice effort.

August 2015, I received some more in the mail:
Add workflow version to the Where-Used list
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2201971
Automatic alignment of the workflow model
https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/2201454
Thanks to everyone who contributed, especially those who submitted the requests in the first place.
Rick, I can't wait to get to my work email to see what other improvements have been decided on.
There were 89 requests submitted... a few were out of the scope of the team we worked with... last I recall, about 30 were up for the final decision/implementation.
Let's hear it for the SAP Customer Connection, and the power of the customer!!!
🙂
Oh and Ronen Weisz actually is the one who pushed (and pushed, and pushed) to get this Customer Connection started - so kudos to him!
Indeed, muchos kudos to Ronen too. I can't wait to set Chronological Log as my default!
Thank you, I actually think there are some more, at least there are more notes:

Good Stuff Sue!
Thanks Rick for sharing this stuff. It's really helpful.
Hi
what are the implications of applying the note: 2188631 especially in the portal level UWL..?
Just recently applied this note on our system, but it had a lot of dependent notes which also got installed. I didt apply the '2186821' not as well.
