increase session time out
Increase the session time at-least for the developers account. We need to give quality of code right? Some times we may need to debug the code .

Allow developers to copy Skill Product detail to other regions
With a push of a button allow people to copy all product information to all English enabled regions. This would cut down on developers having to cut copy and paste saving on average about a half hour of work.

Get Rid of Skill I/O is available only for speech requests to skills you have created.
The error message "Skill I/O is available only for speech requests to skills you have created". keeps appearing when I am testing a skill that I in fact have created. The most frustrating part is if I was able to see the Skil I/O for the skill I created, I would much better be able to figure out what is wrong with it.

Add original text in support ticket case responses
Hello Amazon,
When you reply to ticket cases, if I have many open, you do not make any reference in the email to which ticket you are replying to (except the case number) so it is very difficult to know what you are responding to, especially if there are many tickets open.
Even in the original email acknowledging the ticket has been opened, there is no reference to the original reason the ticket has been opened.
It would be great if you could add the original text submitted to the email so that that we know what you are responding…

Non precise error on save/build
When a build fails or save fails, the error prompt is not descriptive:
Operation Failed
The attempted operation has returned an unspecified error. This may be due to an expired session, or a model that exceeds 1MB in size.Think more descriptive and precises error messages are needed, algo between every save or build I usually make several changes, it would be nice so the difference between actual json and the one from the previous successful save.

Intent Confirmation Does Not Support SSML and Question Mark
There is a bug in the new Console. I cannot include both SSML and a question mark because validation says: "You can only have a '?' at the end of a prompt" but for SSML you need to have the closing </speak> tag.

Reset the Development version of a Certified Live Skill to the Live version (if you've messed it up)
I have a certified skill, so now have a development copy hanging off it. I messed up the development version hanging off it. Is there a quick way to reset the development version back to the same as the live version to undo all my development changes?
I think it would be great to make a button to do this. Otherwise, I will try to just delete the Interaction Model JSON.

Configuration for the REDIRECT_URI to NOT be passed as part of the URL parameters from Alexa Skill linking
Have a configuration for the REDIRECT_URI to NOT be passed as part of the URL parameters from Alexa Skill linking. Since we know the possible URIs to redirect to, we would keep these URIs in our app configuration to use when sending back instead of getting the URI as a parameter attribute.

Alllow other slots in slot type values.
My desire: To use slots of one type in values for slots of another type.
My reason: I am using an API that also process language. I must send a string to the API detailing an initial condition; let's call that slot X. The slot that gathers the initial condition reuses a specific word (let's call it Y) and several of it synonyms over and over again. So if i could enter values for slot X such as "my head {Y}" or "my arm {Y}", it would save me a great deal of time.
Counter Argument: Why not just concatenate…

PDF export and email of analytics to share with clients
Please allow exporting of analytics to pdf file as per the time range (weekly, monthly). We need this to share with clients to showcase how their Alexa skills are doing and they are getting ROI on investment. without this report not many clients would like to spend more time or money on it. Generating this report for every client manually is not possible when we have hundreds of skills. Also it would be great if this report can be emailed to given email id periodically.

Fix the dev console to allow lambda ARNs with aliases
For some reason I cannot specify a Lambda endpoint which has an alias qualifier at the end. For example, I want to have two aliases: TEST and PROD that point to different versions of the lambda function.
When I am trying to save the endpoint, it shows a "manifest error" message.
It worked fine before. My other skills that were created using the old developer portal UI still have their endpoint

Exclude custom types from maximum langue model file size budget/limit
I get the error message:
This may be due to an expired session, or a model that exceeds 1MB in size.
which is new a new constraint, 3 month ago that same language model worked fine (in the old alexa console, which now also throws this error message). My language model is rather huge (~2.8MB), since I'm using the occupations model of the European Commission (ESCO: https://ec.europa.eu/esco/portal/occupation).
It is very unfortunate that the custom types are counted against the 1 MB budget. If I used the built-in types, I could use more intents and example sentences in my languageModel.…

Make Skill Events configurable in developer console
When skill events were originally released last summer, they were only configurable from the SMAPI/CLI. The implicit reason at the time was "there's a new developer console coming, it's not worth it to implement new features on the old one".
The new skill console is out now, and it still doesn't appear that there's a way to set my skill to use skill events.

Show reason why "Update live skill" button is disabled
I recently spent two days trying to determine why I wasn't able to use the "Update live skill" button for changes to my skill that were clearly eligible for live updates. Ultimately I was able to find the change that was blocking the live update functionality, but it was an extremely frustrating experience, since the Alexa Developer Console provides no insight into what changes are making a skill ineligible for live updates.
It would be nice to have a way to determine what changes are making a skill not eligible for the live update workflow so that skill developers can…

In the test simulator, accept numbers as digits, not text
In the test simulator, it would be great if "8" would be understood as a spoken word "eight" so I don't have to type a number every time. This took me about 3 hours to figure out / debug a bug in my code that wasn't there.

Replay test value in ASK test panel
In the Alexa Developer Console Test panel, add a button next to each bubble in the transcript pane that reloads that phrase and submits with 1 click.
In testing it's common to use the same value over and over and over, currently I do the very tedious: select the transcript text, copy, paste into the input field, hit enter. Should be an easy feature upgrade to give a button next to all inputs in the transcript so they can be reloaded quickly.

Create a User Friendly Interface. This new interface is impossible to use.
Bad user interface. Also, no step-by-step instruction how to convert a skills created in 2017 to the new format.

Ability to send back a variable, in the SSML response, which will convert t the user's first name.
Ability to send back a variable, in the SSML response, which will convert to the user's first name. This allows for the identity to remain hidden to the skill's developer, however, enables the developer to personalize the skill. This can be done for a specific voice profile. If the first name is not available, then it is gracefully ignored. For example:
<speak>@fname, here is your quote of the day.</speak>
would either convert to
"Sebastien, here is your quote of the day"
Or
"here is your quote of the day"3 votes
