No explanation needed. I CANNOT continue to junk up my apps with useless, one-word columns only used for one purpose.

How odd. This post has 16 views, and the link has 5 clicks, but there’s only one vote: mine. Either the Feature Requests app is broken, or YOU AREN’T VOTING!!! 😲😜 Either way, I feel lonely 😭 Can you help me not feel lonely by voting on the feature request 😂🥺🥺 ---

I looked, but to be honest I don’t get it. So maybe a little more explanation _is_ needed? ---

Hah, fine. ### You know how there’s an option for ‘Custom’ when entering text into the rich text, button text, text, action text, etc. fields? It looks a whole dang lot like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/5/65c021fb6c08296d8e8e7e3fb1e8dd37877566a3.png) This is what I desire for the add row and set columns options. I find it ridiculous that I already have to have a column in the app for this. Say I want to make a checkbox true. Do I really need to have a column with just the word ‘true’ on each and every row?! It would be much easier if we could do this: ![Untitled drawing (2)](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/4/5425193b3251829435ba2cc11e899f4d2ad58317.png) And just enter the data there manually. I should’ve elaborated a bit more before, my bad. ---

Ah, right. Yeah now I get it. This is still a relatively new (and very powerful) feature, I’m sure there are lots of improvements and enhancements in the pipeline 🙂 ---

yeah, this is very useful. Will save having to create silly single-use template columns all the time.
