Current Layout:

When selecting the 'Get Data' drop down, there are 8 'Most Common' options listed before the 'More' option.

Requested Change:

In Power BI Desktop, When selecting the 'Get Data' icon from the 'Home' Tab, The Drop down appears with 8 Sources listed (defaulting to 'Most Common') as now, but Below 'More...' (the last item currently on this drop down), a new option called 'Customize...' appears. End user can then customize the 8 sources on the Drop Down itself, instead of the 'Most Common', users could select from [My Most Recent], [My Most Common], or manually select the 8 the user prefers to have quick access to.

Bumping this! Give us the ability to customize the Most Common data sources - most of my reports are connected to Snowflake so would be great to get to that data source more quickly.

RE: Change 'Get Data' - 'Most Common' List Drop Down

My most common would be super helpful! 95% of the time I use SAP Hana, but since I have multiple servers, using the existing "recent" isn't helpful as I can't tell which server it will take me to.
