Search does not seem to work for VSTS repository.
We have a large number of projects, some of which have 100s of repositories. The list that shows up is random, probably selecting some max # of repos as returned by the API. But when I type search, I do not find my repository. It always returns the same list, never the thing I was searching for. I am in the Administrator group for the project I am looking for.

When Publishing a runbook that runbook refences unpublished runbooks, an error should be returned and the runbook should not be published.
In nascent scenarios, the Draft & Published states of runbooks are a useful - if not required - mechanism for making and testing progressive changes to runbooks without interrupting working-state automation.
However, in mature scenarios, this scaffolding does not provide a very robust mechanism for gating changes, and does not provide an external contract to consumers that adheres to the restrictions it seemingly arbitrarily implies during execution.
The canonical example is parent/child dependency. If this is a caveat that must exist, and if during the process of Publishing, a list of referenced runbooks is built up for whatever reason (presumably…

Azure DevOps Collection Selector
As we have multiple different Azure DevOps Collections, I would like to see an additional drop to select which collection I want to connect to. I am unsure how it is picking the collection right now, but it is not the connection I need and I don't see a way to change it.

HRW will not actually operate at an Elevated Level
There is a “Known Issue” where the HRW will not actually operate at an Elevated Level and can get caught by UAC. Delegating explicit permissions from the credential resolves the issue.

Connection types are defined as a file in the module file. Is there a reason that you want to created them via cmdlets instead?
As a side note, you can do this through our API today as a workaround.

Editor should support ANSI encoding
The online editor should support the ANSI encoding as well as UTF8, you can run into problems if the editor has an ANSI chracter that would show up as invisible (space or not) and cause havok.
See the following sample of the issue from Sublime, it has the same issue as the online editor in the Automation Account Runbook.1 vote -

Update Management - Backup to Recovery Services Vault
The first I want to do before running updates on my Azure servers is back them up, yet there is no option in Update Management to do this. They are already part of a Recovery Services Vault, but I want to back them up immediately before the updates are applied.
I can code this in a 'pre-task' runbook, but what if one or more VMs fail to backup - there is no (apparent) way of removing that VM from the scope of the update deployment dynamically.

OMS Change Tracking - Add Windows WildCard\API Support
We like the idea of using the Change Tracking feature of OMS to show when our critical applications are updated but we find it a pain to have to manually enter in all of our files within the portal. We would like to have both wildcard support so that I can enter all *.jar files in this folder as well as API support so our automation can add files as well. This would save hundreds of hours of our time as well as ongoing operational time as we could have our CI process enter the files into Change Tracking.
