Yup agree. If I can’t be bothered to cut and paste then I sometimes give Claude/Codex browser access to manually input the formula for me. Not ideal but it works.

It would help if the formula fields were able to literal upload. I often need to create a custom formula field in an underlying database to display on a Report but the AI mangles the formula. So I end up doing a “cut and paste” to create the formula field. But the MCP access is helping a lot!
