Better guides for Advanced Lists

Troubleshooting advanced lists or building new ones from scratch often takes a TON of trial and error. The data dictionary is 4 years old, and the data diagram is 7 years old! Even if they weren't, there is basically useless because there is no apparent correlation between the display names of the objects in the list builder and the table/column names.

 

We need actual documentation on how to access specific data.

    It's been 11 years!  Data Dictionary and Data Diagram must be updated.

    I'll second Brian's comments, an update to the data diagrams is in dire need!

    Data Dictionary - 12/04/2008
    Data Diagram - 12/01/2008

    That is when they were last updated. There are so many new features / fields since then. How can we possibly make advanced lists with such old guides?
