Make use of css variables in themes so that it is changeable with reasonable effort. Taking the lepton theme as an example: I need to set my own colors so that they match my corporate identity.
Starting from lepton6.css (copied from source into my project) I have one screen with the app running, another with debug console and another with the css file. I need to check the hex codes used to then manipulate the style sheet, which is WAY more effort than just replacing a bunch of variables. And now that I replaced everything with variables I am less exited about updates in this area, because I now have to constantly monitor changes >.<

ABP Suite - Preserve Custom Code Across Repeated CRUD Generations
my common work-flow: generate crud->customise->re-generate crud->re-enter-previous customization-> repeat...etc
- for the *.cs generated classes is would be very useful to be able to wrap custom code in a region - such that the CRUD engine can detect this region in the *.cs file allowing it to be preserved across CRUD generations.
`#region CustomCode
// ...custom code here
#endregion`
This would be a massive boost in efficiency and a valued Feature in my opinion.

this is one of the important features that we would like to implement. there are several approaches to preserving the custom code. we will find the best way to achieve this.

CRUD Generation - allow the option to select one or more Properties to become part of a Unique Constraint.
This is a very common requirement across the projects I've worked on and although it can be enforced in other layers - I think having these constraints at the DB layer is best practice for a strong system.
Example: EF SQL Server multi-tenant app - generated code might look something like:

- many-to-many with supporting custom properties in intermediate tables and wilth fully support on abp.suite
- many-to-many UI with generated grids with related entity with options "New", "Update", "Link", "Unlink", "Delete" - example how it
Of course we need this !!!
In my humble opinion, it is like a standard basic feature that is missing. Almost all applications needs this, being able to add child records with multiple values/columns. And most, if not all, application template builder from the past 25 years has this kind of features. I'm really surprised that this is not already there in ABP Suite.
Actual 1-to-many or many-to-many feature should allow us, at least, to choose more than one field to be the "display property". We should be able to order them and pick the separator characte. Being able to enter something like a "format template", instead of a drop down list, would be good: E.g. {Name} - {Value} (Comments).
ID should be one of the available field to be picked as Display Property, especially if you choose it to be something else than a GUID (meaning that it is human readable/usable).
When creating a 1-to-many relation, an option should allow us to create the reverse relation at the same time.

CMS kit has a feature to write your custom Css without even opening the solution. Just from the UI , runtime ! https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Modules/Cms-Kit/Global-Resources

Hi,
to be able to participate with speed of development at community site of abp it would be great if you could implement a parameter "upgrade-to-pro" for abp cli. The abp cli would use the free available examples as base and could upgrade them to a commercial version. That way a paying customer we would have a great effort. !
This would work like this (for example on eshoponabp):
- Clone free eshoponabp from Github
- Upgrade to commercial modules , adding abp pro specific modules etc ( like the current microservice-template-pro)

I do really like your docker and tye integration. This works great. But i don't like your kubernetes integration so far. i did face a lot of issues, and still have some.
To improve that for future:
Please implement with every new release a test in which you ensure that the charts/templates/values fit your new code version. That way you can catch up errors that only error during kubernetes execution. For us as cutomer you would deliver a more stable reliable product.
Edit: Example: Together with my post before you could implement that as new Task for the commercial part in your eshoponabp github repo

ABP Suite
the word "running" - as in 'a process that is running' - might be better than "working" in this message context.
This checks if we get Http-200 successful result from the running service. It is not checking the if the process is running.
hmm, i think the point is being missed here - the message is not clear and confuses some users causing them to raise questions. some simple re-wording might help but I can only suggest.

Domain.{Entity}Manager.cs
Recently the Create and Update task was moved into the Manager.cs and this was a nice improvement. The Delete was not moved to the manager. It remains in the application layer.
I would like to see the Delete moved here as well.
Reasons include:
- Consistency in approach
- There are times when additional logic is to be executed on the a Delete and the Doman Manager is the right place to do this

Feature Request : Custom HTTPS Responses for AppServices
I would like the ability to customize my AppServices and be able to specify exactly what HTTP Status code gets returned by a particular response in order to better integrate the with external APIs using industry standard conventions. For example, the one that always bites is when the system sends an HTTP200 response when the user needs to authenticate.
I am not sure how this would look in implementation, but it would go a long way towards making the framework more extensible and integratable, in my opinion.

The fact that adding a many to many relationship that does not respect the schema of the parent table is absolutely a bug; opposed to your statement that it is not here
https://support.abp.io/QA/Questions/3381/BUG--CRUD-Generator-when-creating-a-Many-Many-table-does-not-respect-the-schema-name-of-the-app

With Blazor comming close to build once - run everywhere with MAUI and Blazor Hybrid, wouldn't it be nice with just one "Blazor" template for which you could select which Blazor UIs (WASM, Server, native) you want and then that generated components were but into a Razor Component Library instead?
Perhaps from the start it could just be WASM + Server but with MAUI becoming more mature, perhaps become WASM + Server + MAUI. AFAIK, unless you start using Native controls, the Blazor components themselves and their markup should be very similar regardless of hosting environment.
Not sure what amount of work this would mean, but just floating the idea in general.
This was also posted as https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/13710 and has two votes on there which should count, one of them I believe is from a core team member :)

Add support for MAUI Blazor (BlazorWebView) in the ABP Suite Mobile Application (don't remember exactly what it is called). MAUI is supported but only as XAML. As I understand it, authentication is supposed to be handled in the XAML even when using mainly Blazor, so the changes needed would probably be quite small.
Authentication in Blazor Hybrid apps is handled by native platform libraries, as they offer enhanced security guarantees that the browser sandbox can't offer. Authentication of native apps uses an OS-specific mechanism or via a federated protocol, such as OpenID Connect (OIDC). Follow the guidance for the identity provider that you've selected for the app and then further integrate identity with Blazor using the guidance in this article.

Perhaps a better alternative could be to switch to MAUI Blazor project type instead of a plain MAUI one, since the former support Xaml AND Blazor, while the normal MAUI only supports Xaml and requires quite a bit a configuring to get Blazor working.
Since ABP is primarilly a web framework, it would seem reasonable that anyone using ABP is more likely to use Blazor than XAML, as anyone interested in writing native apps only probably would not be using ABP at all.

Add the features present in AspNetZero RadTool to Abp Suite as the section "Other" where we can set "Advanced Filter", "List in UI" and "Create and Update".
And, if possible, reduce the number of template files used by Abp Suite also giving the possibility to indicate the sub-path where to save the files as it could be done in AspNetZero RadTool.
Thanks, Roberto

CMS Pro module for Blazor Server. It does have the admin stuff, but not able to use the user facing CMS capabilities. Have to put it on a different website as asp.net mvc and that is a no-go. Has to work on the same website/blazor server.

Suite
- Add db name mappings to suite crud generator.
- Allow import from existing class
Login
- When someone logs in with SSO, display a list of matching tenants and let them click through
- Add required login via google/sso option.
File Manager
- See imagekit https://github.com/imagekit-developer/embeddable-media-library
- I think a popup iframe version makes more sense as you can add it to different widgets, even if you're not using the ABP themes.

1、增加一个字段说明 1、Add a field description
2、当使用suite生成代码后，dto、entity的summary都加上这个“字段说明” 2. After using suite to generate code, add this "field description" to the summary of dto and entity.
3、还有表（实体）说明，在实体类的summary上显示 3. There are also table (entity) descriptions, which are displayed on the summary of the entity class

I would like to implement a webhook feature like ASP.NET Zero.
https://docs.aspnetzero.com/en/aspnet-core-mvc/latest/Features-Webhooks
You can implement this feature on the framework side > https://github.com/abpframework/abp We will be happy to see your PR.
I think @portx-dev was asking you to develop it as a feature of the Abp Commercial version :-)
The requested feature is already on the roadmap https://docs.abp.io/en/abp/latest/Road-Map from 2020 https://github.com/abpframework/abp/issues/4223

Blazor Web Assembly.
- Impersonate Users - So a host user can impersonate a tenant user for support and troubleshooting.
- Remove the redirect requirement for login. We do not want to use the ABP website feature, we want users to go straight to login page, and be redirected to it after logout.
- Improve the speed to load the application, from URL click, and then from Login. There are lots of ways to improve this, a significant one would be the open login page directly.
- Better example of how to integrate SaaS monthly and/one off payment with Stripe (show what stripe settings are used for the example).
- Better example of using AzureAD for validation of tenant users.

- Love to see if ABP Suite can generate separate pages for Create and Edit Model.
- When creating a new layered Application via ABP Suite, an option to add all UI (MVC, Blazor, Maui, Angler...) in one go, similar is already possible with Module but not with Application.
- Generate CRUD from Entity Classes

ABP suite is almost unusable to maintain an application, especialy after a while when modifications has occured in the first version of generated code. Doing a simple update, like adding a new field to an entity, has 95% odds to break the code, the tests, and needs manual file comparisons, fixes and implies a lot of error possibilites.
But, I think that if the first class generated were made using partial class and partial methods... and the code being generated marked by #region block and/or some comments marker like "/* ABPSuite generated code, do not do code change below/above */, then it will make updates possible (and easier to deal with in ABP Suite code generator).
Then, some "inteligence" could be added in the code generatior and start to "update the code", not just restarting from scratch and igoring the changes made by others...
ABP Suite is a nice tool, able to save us A LOT of time, but it misses some features to still be a great value after the initial applcation creation.

Most .net developers host there solutions on azure.
It's currently hectic to deploy abp.io app on azure, an automation script would be great.
Abp is a multi tenant application, I believe onboarding a new customer (creating a new tenant) is a manual process. Would be great to automate that. I.e a customer registers on the public portal and after approval a new tenant is created automatically.
Lastly, when hosted on azure and each customer wants to authenticate with there own azure tenant app registration how is this supposed to be configured?
New customer onboarding is currently missing
