Ideas can have a Status, however many times it is unclear which version it applies to:

This Idea is implemented. But what was the version of the product when this idea was reported? What is the version that this idea has been implemented in?
I suggest adding two additional status fields:
"Version reported" and "Version implemented"
"Version reported" should be a required field when creating the idea.
"Version implemented" should be required to be set by the person that changes the Status to Implemented.

Ideally make the Product version a "pill" like the Status, so we can use it to search/filter by it.


It happened multiple times that I had to know which specific version a feature had been implemented, but this information could not been found in the thread. Additionally thready on old ideas can span multiple pages, so finding this information is difficult. Looking through all release notes is also not practical.

I’ve often found that version-specific context is critical when browsing ideas in Esri Community. Without labels, it’s tough to know if a suggestion applies to ArcGIS Pro, ArcMap, or a particular release. Adding version tags would make searching and prioritizing much easier. It helps avoid duplicate requests and lets users track whether a feature has already been addressed in newer builds.

Hi @SimonSchütte_ct, thank you for sharing this feature request for ArcGIS Ideas, and @SteveMarkovick for providing the additional context. I agree that including version information is valuable and a step toward better transparency. I think it will serve ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Enterprise users, amongst others, well. Currently, we are unable to support this because it's not available with our submission experience. That said, I will explore options to incorporate this functionality as it becomes available.
