Hi all,

Is it possible to somehow show the contents of a computed column in the layout of an app? I have a javascript column which uses another javascript column and a basic url column as its inputs, however the reponse of this does not show in the frontend when putting it in a text field for example.

I have a feeling it is because I am using a computed column on top of another one.. but any ideas to get the data to show would be very helpful,thanks!

You can chain as many computed columns as you want.  
Can you share some screenshots? (both Data Editor and Layout) please?
