I noticed if I edit the appformula in an image column (which contains SVG code) and then Save, the column type changes to TEXT. This means before I try and sync, I need to remember to change the column type back to Image before I sync the app. Can be very annoyingโ€ฆ obviously, I keep forgetting this, but it means two steps each time.

The column change should be live now but let me know if you run into the issue again.

As for the SVG type suggestion, I personally found what Jonathan and you did really clever and I could see lots of potential applications, such as custom graphs, progress bars, animations etc. My thoughts are that it would be fairly limited to power-users like you two unless we also find a way to simplify the creation process (even if itโ€™s just pointing to a 3rd party SVG creator like this) and integrate better with our views. I could see adding an SVG/HTML type as a good step because messing with long strings is overly challenging but weโ€™ll also have to work through these other challenges before itโ€™s ready for broader use.
