Just thought it would be potentially useful to have a writer feature type's icon vary depending on whether it is creating, truncating or dropping/creating the table. At present you have to view each feature type's parameters and it would be a bit quicker if you could instead see at a glance what it was doing. Obviously there's a big difference between the operations with at times significant connotations to using the wrong one, so whilst there's the onus on the author to check things this might well help.

Writer Feature Types - Change Icon Depending on Operation

I did reach out to our product team as to why this particular idea was archived. In 2023.0, we started updating our product icons to improve user experience and limit the number of icons used overall. It was decided that adding any new icons would increase complexity for users needing to learn new lexicography, which is why the idea was archived/not planned.
