Hi all, small adjustment that I think might help…when adding a new field to a glide table I think it would be helpful to include a freetext help/description for that column. It can be difficult to remember what each column is used for when the app becomes complex. And while I try hard to name my columns appropriately there is often simply more to say about them. Not a game changer but seems like it would likely be easy to introduce so I’m throwing it out there for discussion. Thank you!
