Hi
With reference to youtube video regarding Dereference’s
How to Use Dereference Expressions in Forms
What would happen if “Keith’s” email would change? Does the email in the appointment table straight away if I had to look at a table view of appointments after I change the “Keith’s” email in the customer table?
Just trying to understand what are the fundamental differences that I need to be aware of if I have a column in the appointment table that dereferences the email from the customer table vs just having a virtual column. (eg. What are the differences between the two. When should I use a spreadsheet column vs virtual column dereference. How is data updated differently, which will influence app speed the most etc).
Tony mention in the video that dereferences are often used by users that update data via the app as well as need to batch edit within the spreadsheet itself.
Using a dereference in columns in the table itself is what I would like to use as I have a lot of data and would need to sometimes batch edit it and would like a reference to know what the ID label.
