I have to agree with @Oshyan 's list and the sentiment that I am hoping that a few foundational features are added that can then allow building more interesting things on top.

- **Blocks** : to enable embedding of [views](https://community.fibery.io/t/planned-embed-custom-views-into-entity-view/936), entities ([in-line or as blocks](https://community.fibery.io/t/customize-fields-in-inline-entities-in-rich-text-boxes/1283/10)) which will really help with generally being able to [reorganize entity views](https://community.fibery.io/t/individual-layouts-for-a-node-hide-fields-etc/995) and creating things like [dashboards](https://community.fibery.io/t/configurable-dashboards/111). I am hoping that this is also supported in [markdown templates](https://help.fibery.io/en/articles/5170015-markdown-templates) (i.e. you are able to insert view blocks into entities when they are created using rules with parameters defined at creation time)

- **[Polymorphic relations](https://community.fibery.io/t/polymorphic-relations-when-creating-relation-ability-to-have-many-types-from-which-to-choose-and-not-just-one-type/425)**: that is consolidating relation fields so that every relation (even those that are rare/occasional) don’t have to be explicitly defined. I am also hoping this would include [adding properties to relations](https://community.fibery.io/t/relationship-properties/887). I think this makes fibery’s relations truly graph-like and allow things like building knowledge systems or even building a very powerful CRM or contacts graph where you are interested in connections between people but also how they are are connected)

- **Improvements to table view** : this includes [grouping and aggregate/rollup functions](https://community.fibery.io/t/row-grouping-and-total-row-in-table-view/532), [searching](https://community.fibery.io/t/table-view-quick-search/1846) & temporary [filtering](https://community.fibery.io/t/column-controls-in-table-view/1747) (i.e. for quick lookup of current data without permanently changing view filters), and some more rendering options for [URLs](https://community.fibery.io/t/url-alias-in-formulas/1835) and [rich text](https://community.fibery.io/t/table-view-description-field-rich-edit-fields-in-table-view/383) fields.

I tend to group things that in my mind go together or seem to require consideration together even though they might considered distinct features so apologies if I crammed more than 3 things above.

As far as other items:

- **Search improvements** : this includes search & replace (for [simple text](https://community.fibery.io/t/search-replace/1792) & for [entity references](https://community.fibery.io/t/approved-replace-all-references-or-convert-to-type/982)), extending search to [other fields](https://community.fibery.io/t/changelog-may-12-full-text-search-cumulative-reports-burn-up-down-cfd-full-width-documents/1618/8), [scoping](https://community.fibery.io/t/search-scoping-search-within-collection/2095), setting filters (e.g. for [closed items](https://community.fibery.io/t/add-filter-for-closed-entities-in-all-searches-and-or-other-indicator-of-entity-status/1052)), and providing more [context in search window](https://community.fibery.io/t/provide-context-for-duplicate-names/1534).

- **[Geospatial field types](https://community.fibery.io/t/geospatial-fields/413/10)**: this is not a priority for anyone but it remains a pain point for anyone dealing with physical world (construction, real-estate, architecture & engineering, retail, etc.). Even possibility of having json fields that at least check json formatting would be a good start.

- **Plugins/extensions/custom blocks** : to allow users to create some features that are not priorities for fibery core. I understand this has to be done very carefully so just adding it as a consideration when building some of the underlying things like block to enable this in the future. One use case for me is implementation of a map view/block using leaflet (related to above).

Thanks again for all the hard work. It is amazing what has been accomplished to date 😁
