I could really use a way to duplicate a date column natively within Glide. I’m starting to run into a couple of situations where I would like to format a single date/time stamp column into separately formatted Date Only and Time Only columns for display purposes. I can duplicate the column in the google sheet, but this introduces a delay and would be better if Glide had the native functionality to do this. I picture it just like a Math column, which technically can let you duplicate a numeric value multiple times, but with different precision and units. Or like a template column, which can be used to make a copy of another column, but with the ability to apply date style formatting.

Agree this would be great, yup just formatting option in template column would solve
