Schema reveals broken Formulas and Lookups
Y
Yari Schutzer
When Formulas and Lookups are broken, there's no current way to know unless you happen to notice the red "i" in the GUI. And if your fields are hidden from display, you don't discover it unless you happen upon a bad result elsewhere. I'm proposing that the "Schema" widget can already display structure, so it could have a toggle switch display these broken Formulas and Links. It'd be a great way to audit the entire solution at a glance.

Notifications and/or a central hub to manage and resolve field errors
lorenzo
Sometimes I make changes to the database structure, particularly with linked fields. This can cause errors in formula or lookup fields. However, we receive no notifications when this occurs, so I have to manually search through the entire environment to find corrupted fields. It would be very convenient to have a centralized list where we can manage and resolve these corrupted fields one by one. Or at least get notified when a field is currupted.

Great to hear your perspective, lorenzo! I have a few more questions for you:
- Can you provide more details on how you would like to be notified when a field is corrupted?
- What specific information would you like to see in the centralized list for managing and resolving corrupted fields?
- How frequently do you encounter this issue of corrupted fields?
