What is "field text color" in list interface?


Forum|alt.badge.img+1

I’m currently editing a list interface, and under “appearance” there is the normal record coloring, and then there is something called “field text color:” Does anyone know what this is and how to use it?

I’ve attached a photo of what I’m talking about

They recently rolled out some conditional formatting to number fields to allow for field-specific colors depending on the value.

More info here!

(Though I will note I can’t seem to get it to recognize number fields when editing Grid views in Interface Designer...)

Try a ‘Duration’ field?  ‘Number’ and ‘Currency’ fields didn’t show up as selectable for me; probably a bug?

At least number field is working perfectly for me!

Would appear that it’s working in some of my bases properly but not others? Might just be a rollout quirk. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Solution: The "Field Text Color" option in the List Interface allows you to dynamically change the text color of a specific field based on conditions you set. This works similarly to record coloring but applies only to text within a chosen field.

How to Use It:

  1. Select a Field: Choose which field's text color you want to modify.

  2. Set Conditions: Define rules (e.g., if "Status" = "Urgent," make text red).

  3. Choose Colors: Assign different colors based on your conditions.

This helps improve readability and highlight key data. If you need help setting it up, feel free to reach out!
