Make it easier to access the 'replace data source' functionality

When replacing data tables, the columns added from other tables and the calculated columns need to be recreated. Having the possibility to bring them back would be great.

    I'm guessing you are on a earlier version than 10.0? In 10.0 it is much more prominent, it can be accessed either from the button in the lower part of the left bar, or from Data -> Data Cavnas menu entry.

    Changing idea from "Restore calculated columns / columns from other tables when replacing a data table".

    Thanks a lot Erik for your reply. It was not the easiest place to find... This idea to be changed to "Make this functionality more accessible from the "File" menu for example. :)

    If you replace the specific data source instead of the entire table, these should be kept. Replacing a data source is done from the source view.
