Bug | Fix "Reset on edit" for virtual columns
Removes any Reset on edit behavior for virtual columns because it creates odd behavior in the client. Since it's supposed to be impossible for this to happen, because we don't allow the app creator to enable Reset on edit for virtual columns, this change should only affect the corrupted apps. This fix will be rolled out gradually. It is currently deployed to 50% of free users. |
Bug | When creating an app and starting from your own data, if you opted to add a new data source during the flow, after the new data source was added you were not returned to the app creation flow. You would have to restart the process and select the new data source. You can now add a new data source when creating an app without canceling out of the app creation flow. |
Item | Description |
Enhancement | The Expression Assistant now provides auto completion for columns, including SELECT() statements and _THISROW notation. It also provides string completions when the value will be a table or column name. See Build Expressions using Expression Assistant.
New: Deployed to all users. |
