Chris, great suggestions. Wanted to flag up another similar re: required fields:

> I’m building an app for bug reporting that has multiple rich text fields (“steps to reproduce”, “expected behavior”, and “actual behavior”). I’d like a form view for this type that lets me enforce that users must fill out these fields in order to create a new a bug report.

Required fields definitely a big one for those of us doing Software Development. As a related note, I’d love to see required commenting when closing, sort of “resolution” type functionality where you’d need to explain in comments what you’ve done to wrap up an issue…

And you also seem to be referencing conditional formatting, also out there here:

> It would be great if at some point there was a common conditional formatting feature that could be applied throughout the platform on different UI elements including fields, tables, cards, boards, etc. I am not sure if having a uniform formatting feature for the UI components is feasible but I think that would be quite interesting.

Since we just heard a lot about how Coda compares to Fibery, this is one of the most useful features of Coda I’d like to see over here…

Cheers!
