Being able to use Lookup and Linked Record Fields in Noloco Table Formulas would be a huge help.

I often need to concatenate data that is coming from Linked Records or Lookup fields and those field types are not currently selectable and can’t be used in Noloco Formulas.

What are you using for your back end? I’m using airtable and do all of this on the airtable side with no issues.

I’m using solely Noloco Tables for this client. Otherwise I would have done a workaround in Airtable already 🙂 I didn’t specify though, so thank you for noting it so I could edit my original request for more clarity!
