Prevent Accidental Overwrite of Function Columns with Locking or Confirmation Dialog
Describe the problem to be solved
Our employees frequently overwrite formula columns by accidentally typing data into them. This replaces the entire column's formula with a static value.
Proposed Solutions:
-
Add an option to "lock" formula columns.
-
Trigger a warning popup when a user attempts to edit a cell in a formula column directly (not via the sidebar).
If there already is a solution to this problem, please let me know.
Describe the solution you would like
No response
Something like this would be super helpful.
I would recommend extending the lock / read-only feature to all data cells in addition to formulas (perhaps a system-wide toggle) to prevent accidental deletions / unintended edits when filtering / read-only interactions.
