I have been working on layering on automations to the [Template for date grouping](https://community.fibery.io/t/template-for-date-grouping/2678) to serve as meeting some of the functionality described in [More Flexible Board Columns/Rows](https://community.fibery.io/t/more-flexible-board-columns-rows/1321). Some updates on the [Formulas in Views Filters](https://community.fibery.io/t/formulas-in-views-filters/2133) thread reminded me I should submit this request.

One thing I came across a few times is that I needed to add some conditions to each of the table schemas so that I could check for special conditions where I wanted to actually apply the action. Since the condition I was looking for was more about automation than the data model, I think it would be better to just implement it as a formula if it isn’t needed elsewhere.
