Multi-Level List API — Required for Feature Wave
Kundan Kumar
User Story:
As a client migrating from on-premises Enate to Feature Wave, I want a supported, standard way to access multi-level list data in Feature Wave, so that our production workflows aren't broken at the point of migration.
Background:
On-prem: Customer-related information from the multi-level list, such as "ratings," is read directly from the core DB, which in turn triggers the case and updates the Custom Card accordingly.
SaaS 2023: direct core access isn't supported; we currently rely on the Builder API as a workaround, and this works well.
Feature Wave: the Builder API is also being deprecated, leaving no supported access method at the final migration stage.
Acceptance Criteria:
Given our workflows depend on multi-level list data, when we complete migration to Feature Wave, then we have a supported method (API or otherwise) to retrieve that data with equivalent functionality to what we have today.
Given the Builder API won't be available in FW, when Enate proposes a path forward, then either the API is retained/re-supported, or an alternative standard solution is confirmed that delivers the same capability.
Given this is a migration blocker rather than a nice-to-have, when Enate assesses priority, then a timeline is shared for delivering the solution ahead of our FW migration date.
Why it matters
Multi-level lists are used in day-to-day production processes, not an edge case.
The current SaaS 2023 workaround is only a stopgap, it doesn't carry forward, so without action we hit a dead end at FW with no supported route.

Hi Kundan Kumar,
Thank you for taking the time to share this — it’s really helpful context, especially given this is a migration blocker for Feature Wave. We’re going to review this internally and look into what supported, standard approach will be available for accessing multi-level list data once the Builder API is deprecated.
If we need any further details or clarification on your current usage and requirements, we’ll be sure to reach out.
Thanks again for flagging this.
