I would like to be able to go back into the query and make changes to the data column names and not have all of the visualizations break. Would be great if the software intelligently relinked everything so you could make changes that didn't break everything so easily.

RE: Change column names without breaking visualizations

And/or IF a dataset change DOES break a visualization, please provide way more help than at present. Currently "it's broken" doesn't help fix the problem at all. For broken visualizations, provide:
* A list of problems, easily scrollable.
* For each problem (if it's an "I can not locate this column" problem):
* The expected/designed (original - not renamed) column name and table/folder
