Column Properties - Mass / bulk / batch set-up with import / export functions

Credit to this thread for having the idea as well:

It would be great if column properties for al... Questions

It would be great if column properties for all tables could be exported to a file (spreadsheet?) as text. Formulas and conditions can get really complex, and it would be great to have everything in a human-readable file. That would also make it easier to document the app, esp. if at some point maintenance needs to be passed on to someone else.

I have an app where one of the column has 500+ lines (so 500+ properties to be set or checked). It would be amazing to be able to either set the column properties on mass in the editor. Even better than that it would be world changing to be able to export / import these settings as a google sheet or xml file for direct editing.

Not sure if this will ever be implemented; in the past @praveen has said this is not something they plan to do. However, with the Google acquisition, such things may be more possible.

Thanks for the input. It would be an enormous asset. Currently it is very prohibitive in regards to size and scope. Further it would greatly increase functionality and app update times.
