is there a way to know if a column is used in another column ?

Hi,

is there a way to know if a column is used in another column ?  sometimes I need to delete a column and then after saving it turns out that it was used in another column calculation which causes some trouble especially if the app is on production

Thanks

Please take a look at the following article.

Determine side effects of changing column names - AppSheet Help

You can download app documentation. Relevant excerpt from the article :

You can find the app documentation at Info > Properties > Documentation 

Many of our advanced users utilize this documentation to run textual searches (Control-F in a browser) to look for all the places a particular column name is used.

Wow, thank you very much @Suvrutt_Gurjar .

Almost three years developing with AppSheet, I didn't know that this kind of documentation exists. Thanks to people like you who contribute to this community
