Auto-detect and CREATE field names upon import (CSV)

If the table you are importing a CSV into does not have all the fields your CSV has, you have to manually create them. Would prefer SS auto-create them (like Airtable does, but it gives you ability to select "create new (blank) table").
Adding the ability to create additional fields on the fly will make it easy to get your existing data into a SmartSuite template, helping teams get up and running in minutes instead of hours or days. An ability to customize the field types that are created will ensure that the data looks just the way you want, and enforces appropriate constraints to make sure you've got the right information to get the job done.
An additional ability to create entirely need applications during import greatly streamlines custom app building. You will have all of your existing data at your fingertips in seconds, eliminating the manual work of individually creating each required field and selection items for list-type fields (single select, multiple select and similar field types).
A project manager could import their existing Excel spreadsheets that have information about current projects. Sales teams could easily expand the Sales CRM solution template with fields that track performance metrics, contacts and potential opportunities. Development managers could rapidly import details about all of their task assignments, release plans and quality assurance activities. You'll be able to build out an App for any task, project or process with just a few clicks.
