Business value

In 2022 release wave 2 we added the ability to specify application area on the page level, so that page fields could fall back to this value, resulting in cleaner code, and less work for developers. In this release we're adding a code action to allow quick cleanup of existing code to move the application area from the fields to the page.

Feature details

We are introducing two new code actions to help promote ApplicationArea from field to page level as well as clean up any redundancy. Both can be applied to an object, a document, a project, or a workspace.
