Previously, if table fields from two different levels had the same name, they would combine into the same column, despite being different field types. For example if Level 1 had a formula field called “Update” and Level 2 had a date field called “Update” they were in the same column.
Looking at my tables now, everything has split apart. Is this a permanent change or a bug?
We have the same problem. I reported it via Intercom and it was changed because of technical complexity. If a lot of people experience problems, they might fix it.
So I’m curious who else runs into this issue!
It was a change made because we started adding different ways to display a field value (e.g. a number field could be shown as a progress bar instead of the standard input box). Because different field types can have different display options, it makes it difficult to show them in the same column.
Of course, if you can wrangle them to be the same type, then the issue goes away.
What are the types of the Update field in each case?
I’ve had many different field type combinations. But the most common for us is combining anything on a lower level with a text formula field on an upper level to act as a summary.
