Column name using reserved words

I know this is a tip that no one uses.😂

  • It is possible to specify reserved words as column names.
  • [_Thisrow] has priority over the reserved word.
  • [_Thisuser] has priority over the column value.

It seems like it might be an interesting technique but I'm having trouble understanding.  If you could explain in a bit more detail with a possible use scenario I'd really appreciate it.

Sorry for the confusion.🙏

This is just a Post sharing the results of trying something I was wondering about.

It is best to avoid using column names like this as it will only create problems for the application.

I would venture to say that the correct behavior is to have the AppSheet Editor handle the error if you use reserved words in the column names.
(However, since this is a corner case, we would like the AppSheet team to proceed with more important developments.)

Thanks a lot!  I'm doing my "spring homework" (春休みの自由研究) these days, even though that doesn't seem to be as much of a "thing" as "summer homework."  Your explanation makes sense to me. Thanks again!
