| Enhancement |
Clarifying **auto** in the app editor
In the past, when configuring views and actions the **auto** setting was used to indicate when AppSheet would automatically assign a value. However, it was hard to determine which column values were being set. This enhancement improves the user experience by clarifying which column has been auto-assigned in parentheses. For example: Auto (Inspected By), where "inspected By" is the column name.
New: Deployed to all users.
Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users and 75% of paid users.
