All the experts out here, can we have tutorials or guide on use cases of all new columns? Sorry but I am incapable of understanding most of the new columns myself. Would be helpful if someone can guide.

LOVE the new functionality, but please remind your plugin/column developers to Keep It Simple! Functions should be kept small and atomic, never doing more than necessary.
For example, I just put in a bug report on the âLowercase Textâ column because not only does it convert uppercase chars to lowercase, but also removes any special characters such as periods and replaces them with spaces. This is unexpected behavior and breaks my use case (making user entered emails lowercase so I can create relations between them regardless of casing).
Combining these functions severely limits the usefulness of this plugin. Instead, they should have created a separate âRemove Special Charactersâ function that could be used on the output of lowercase (or any other column) if someone needs that behavior.

@CESI I fixed `Lowercase Text` to behave as you would expect, and added `Uppercase Text`.

Excellent⌠this is awesome, some very useful and powerful stuff in there.
Just one issue I came across⌠your Pluralize Text ([Pluralize Text column ⢠Glide](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/pluralize)) doesnât seem very intelligent. It seems to be just adding on an âsâ, which is not always correct. e.g sheep, foot, mouse etc⌠Without that intelligence, the same can be achieved using your template feature.
Keep up the fantastic work

Hi guys, thanks for the update! Yep, the visual style looks way more modern and XC columns are now integrated into GDE đ
But what about so needed changes:
- **Hover for Column headers**? I understand that in demo apps you can go with neat and short names of columns, but when you need to organize business things, names quickly go beyond short representations(especially with group columns feature).
- Ability to **insert** new columns and duplicates(not only add to the end)
- Ability to hide columns
- **Change the way duplicated column names are generated**. Add something to the end of name and not "Copy of " to the beginning.
and others spotted and mentioned in this Community

@david Thanks so much! I really appreciate how quickly you fixed this! Itâs also a testament of how transformational these plugins will be to the platform!

Excellent.
Quick Q for clarification. The new option to use Excel formulae in Glide - does this also work when your app does not have a spreadsheet and just uses Glide Tables? i,.e. whether or not your app needs to be based on an Excel sheet⌠hopefully itâs fully independent!
