New Bug Encountered: Context expression doesn't work in App formula

[Kirk_Masden]

Hi! I use context expressions a lot in my app. I find them to be very useful, particularly context(“View”)=. Today, however, I found a limitation. For some reason, I can’t get context(“View”)= to work in a app formula. I want to make the same virtual column speak English in one view and Japanese in another. It works for the display name but not for the content of the column. Is this something that I should not expect to be able to do or is it a bug?

By the way, I’ve made a text app (which I call “Context”) to demonstrate the problem and put in on my portfolio:

The app formula is only evaluated at sync time except for columns in an active form.

Thanks Steve! I’ll make a workaround, then.
