Field Types and Drop Down Selections

    I am looking to assign a certain type of value to the fields in a specific column. For example, is it possible to have a date column and have all the fields in that column be formatted as dates and sorted accordingly?

    Subsequently, is it possible to create a drop down selection of only a few options for every field in a column? For example, I would need all the fields in Column A to have a drop down selection of 1, 2, or 3. That way it’s more user friendly to someone populating fields in a column with the same thing over and over.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    thanks for your questions!

    For the cell type: Directly setting that in the user interface is not possible, but it is possible to set it for the sorting (via a “Custom Command” for the DataTables JavaScript library). That should however not be necessary, as for example dates are recognized automatically, if they have the form mm/dd/yyyy.

    For the drop down: No, sorry, that’s not possible. Data can only be entered as a text input field, not from a drop down.

    Regards,
    Tobias
