For lookup fields, it would be nice to have the option to cascade / inherit field descriptions from the table the data is coming from.
This helps nudge us towards single source of truth by:
- increasing the readability and intuitiveness of our bases and interfaces ('descriptions everywhere');
- reducing the burden of managing that description (no longer have to cascade the description everywhere it is referenced); and
- eliminating the need for users to 'go somewhere else' to get their info (e.g. 'start a draft record in the other form so the info pops up', or a flat user manual that is decoupled from the application)
It will need to be optional / opt-in so it doesn't break the behaviours of existing bases. This will also bring us closer to [the broader idea of] distinctly managing our bases' data dictionary as part of the core offering.
