Result

The above Biml describes a package that creates two Reorganize Index Tasks. The first reorganizes indexes on all the tables while the second targets a specific indexed view.

RO ALL Tables

Reorganize all the things!

RO Specific View

Here we reorganize a specific table but notice that this dialog makes it appear nothing is selected. Once you open the combobox or click View TSQL, you'll get a different story.

View TSQL

Notice the expected TSQL shows that we're reorganizing Production.vProductAndDescription and Person.vStateProvinceCountryRegion. Weird
