🆕 You can now add custom overlays on cards. Enjoy! 😉 I don’t remember the caption feature either, do you?

Yes caption has always been there…but custom is neat…saves you from a single value column I guess.

What I’d adore is the ability to add “template text” (smart user tags?) on the fly in any given custom text field. For example, if I have a column called “Name”, I could enter “Hello [Name]” in any custom text field and [Name] would be replaced with the Name value. Basically a template column’s functionality without the template column.
