At our company, we have tables that can have up to 30-40 columns in them, especially on the “summary” or “master” tables, where data is assembled from other tables. This can get very confusing.
What If we could group similar columns together in a similar way we group rows? Color-coded, collapsible, and individually shareable. It could be quite powerful.
This feature would be extremely valuable to manage complexity. We have tables with ~300+ fields (columns) and it becomes quite hard to manage. It’s could be like in Excel when you have a head column above the actual head column that contains merged cells to describe the column category. Additionally, with 300 fields it’s really hard to move new fields to the right position. If you could collapse field groups then you could just move them into the right field group and then order there (with less fields, e.g. 30).
+1 from me, I have different types of products that have slightly different fields, meaning I end up with ALOT of columns, would be good to group them by product type, easier to manage and move around :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:
Thanks, Yes I was going to create a view for each product type, but would be good if I could pick the fields to show based on what “group” the field was in, rather than having to select each individual field relevant to that product!
This would be so helpful. Just the ability to group, or collapse a bunch of columns to find the ones I need. Views are so fiddly to have to keep updated.
