Allow Office365 labels to reference external data for retention trigger, e.g. BCS
In SharePoint we can reference an external data source for a retention trigger, using BCS (Business Connectivity Services). This would allow us to trigger a retention event based on some external event such as the date an employee leaves the company. Apparently this is not possible now with Office365 policies/labels, but I think it would be a very useful feature.

Labels need Order By Setting for UI
Currently Labels are grouped by retention period. We have many divisions and departments, each with their own different legal nuances. Therefore, our labels are grouped by division. Having the ability to order labels by Alpha would be very helpful

Show Shared Mailbox archives in the Records Management dashboard
In the Archive section of the dashboard, it currently only shows users who have archives in place. Can we also add shared mailboxes into this same view?

Warning Pop-up when creating automated policies when labels are not published
There should be an informative note in the S&C center, that would pop up when you would want to Auto-Apply labels, simply stating “Please note that you need to have a Label Published to the desired locations, in order for the auto apply to work.
Applying a label automatically that is not published to that specific site is unsupported and leads to unexpected behaviour

OneDrive Retention
Microsoft recommended using the retention for keeping files safe and restore-able in case and the employee decided to harm the files and remove from all recycle bins.
So I made a policy to keep files for about 10 years after deletion but I was not able to reach the retention folder until I called Microsoft.
I have been told to add "/PreservationHoldLibrary/Forms/AllItems.aspx" to the OneDrive link to be able to reach the folder and then it was really bad to see that the files name are changed which will cause so much troubles restoring it...
For example text.txt become test_070A286E-3A53-4671-8368-B8CB8EC...... …1 vote -
Support for multi-values in Asset ID in event-driven retention
When using event-driven retention, users apply a label (that's tied to an event type) and an Asset ID to documents. I believe right now only a single value can be entered into Asset ID. Is there any plans to support multiple Asset ID's (i.e. make Asset ID a multi-value field)?

Specifying ReviewerEmail for Delete action fails with error message
The ReviewerEmail field specifies the email address of a reviewer for Delete and KeepAndDelete retention actions. However when specified for a Delete action the following error message is generated: Microsoft.Exchange.Management.Transport.ErrorParsingCSVException: Validation failed in the provided CSV at row 1 column "ReviewerEmail". Error: ReviewerEmail can only be applied when retention action is KeepAndDelete.
1 votethanks – we understand you are asking for disposition review for delete only policies. Looking for more feedback from the community on this one.

Fix Month Calculations in Retention Settings
We tried to set up a compliance rule for 73 months or a full 6 years plus one month. After setting up the rule it showed up as 6 years only or 2190 days. Found out from support that a month is calculated at 30 days and therefore over 6 years you lose a full month in calculated days when using the month option. I believe that an item marked for deletion on 1/1/2020 and retained for 73 months should be deleted 2/1/2026 instead of 1/1/2026.

Retention policies (with records marker) should be manageable by admins
I understand the purpose of records markers in retention policies is to protect official company records. There is, however, a sizeable gap in the functionality to be able to administer such labels even before they are published for use. i.e., even an unpublished (and therefore completely unused) retention label with a company record marker cannot be edited or deleted in any way. Guidance on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office365/securitycompliance/labels#using-retention-labels-for-records-management does NOT alert anyone to this fact as it notes "WHEN AN ITEM IS LABELLED AS A RECORD, four things happen: 1. The item can't be permanently deleted; 2. The item can't be edited; 3.…
