@Mark If I reference a sheet of data (with 500+ rows) in a relation column, but I don’t _display_ the sheet of 500+ rows of data in the app, does it still count against the row limits? It appears that it does, I wanted to verify. Thanks!

Yes, if your app uses the data in some way it counts.

Gotcha, a vlookup within the sheet doesn’t count, but a data editor lookup does. Good to know!
