A table is only as useful as the field types it supports. This release adds a set of new ones so you can model the real shape of your work instead of flattening everything into plain text columns.
What's new
- Calculation fields — compute a value from other fields in the record: totals, margins, days-until-due, full names, status labels. Calculations can even be used as the record's title, so lists read the way you think.
- Sub-tables — nested records inside a record. Perfect for line items on an invoice, tasks under a project, or attendees on an event — the detail lives with its parent instead of in a separate, disconnected table.
- Lookups — pull live values from a related table so you're never copying data by hand. Change it once at the source and every lookup follows.
- User fields — assign a record to a person on your team, ready for the notifications and tasks features to build on.
- Sorting — order records the way you actually work, not just by the order they were entered.
Why it matters
Most "spreadsheet problems" are really modeling problems — the data has structure the spreadsheet can't express, so people paper over it with copy-paste and colour-coding. These field types let the structure live in the data itself, which means fewer mistakes and far less manual upkeep.
