AppSheet types respect multi-color formatting icons
Previously, across all types, AppSheet would only allow a single color to apply to all icons rendered by format rules. Now, AppSheet the color granularity as defined within each formatting rule so each icon can have its own color.
With this change, for desktop UI (preview) only all types will now respect individually colored icons.
This enhancement will be rolled out gradually. It is currently deployed to 50% of free users.

| Bug |
Fix "Reset on edit" for virtual columns
Removes any Reset on edit behavior for virtual columns because it creates odd behavior in the client. Since it's supposed to be impossible for this to happen, because we don't allow the app creator to enable Reset on edit for virtual columns, this change should only affect the corrupted apps.
New: Deployed to 100% of free users and 75% paid users.
Previous: Deployed to 100% of free users and 50% paid users.
