Shortcuts for common trigger formulas, and reference lookups

Open anaisconce opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

There are common trigger formulas such as timestamps, authorship columns, detect duplicates and UUID which could be created via shortcuts.

Reference lookups, and aggregations on lookups that return record lists, can be challenging for new users. Would be great to make lookups and aggregations easier via the UI.

Thank you very much for this neat feature! I was wondering whether it would be possible to add an option to define such predefined functions in a per-document basis. A bit like Access Rules let one define a table for custom properties.

It would be nice if there is a snapshot of the feature in the issues when it is closed. So that we can understand what is being delivered - a link to some write-up or manual page would be helpful as well.
