I have a user attempting to create a Power BI report from a custom object with Topics associated. Diving into the background tables within Salesforce, he was able to find the Topic Assignment table that associates the Topic ID to the Object ID (in this case the specific custom object ID). The problem is Power BI doesn't allow connection to this table. It appears it may be a permissions issue within Salesforce (screen grab attached). Any thoughts? 

I have a managed package that defines an object whose Name is an Auto Number field. A customer who has the managed package wants to import some data from another org into his current org, and maintain the Auto Number values that he had in his original org, instead of having new Auto Number values assigned. 

 

I know you can ask Salesforce to allow you to use the Data Loader to write to the CreatedDate and LastModifiedDate fields. Will they also allow us to write to an Auto Number field?

 

(Before you suggest I temporarily change the field type to Text,l please note that the field is defined in a managed package, so I can't change its field type.)
