Hey great commentary yet again!

I think one other thing that is useful to consider are the new “lookup” Collection fields:

It would be enough to have the “Parent” entity be able to be shown like this Lookup. Since by definition, there is only one “Parent” in this type of relationship, so the “Collection” is really just a view of the one Entity with more detail. And again, we save potentially many Fields having to be created, about which there is a lot of discussion around here!

And fully agree that the more customization, the better, although here in Fibery there is a good deal of both this and “deciding on behalf of the user.” In the case of the basic card view, I think the Fibery Team’s good instinct for this stuff is really coming through. I just think this one additional ability to have those attributes of the parent visible would really help.
