Neal Gelderman (ID: 000000d738189e73) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 09/22/2023 This is a great extension for Salesforce, however, there does appear to one major flaw If you use the "Show All Data" for a Case record and make an update via Inspector it will save it with the save option that puts the Case thought the assignment rules again which results in an Owner change you most likely did not want to change. It also would be great if the Export Data feature were updated to support up to 100K SOQL queries which is the current size limit enforced by Salesforce
