Column and View Id's easily visible
Currently, to get the column/view Id, you need to look in the URL.

Can we please have them visible either whilst Viewing the list of columns or whilst Editing the column or both

Cheers

@Brett why do you need to know these Id's?

For setting up action scripts for mass selection of materials

Also for creating Print Button URL's

Or for any scripting where a column is 'in play'

With the implementation of the "Name" in the Selections relations views yesterday, would it be difficult to implement a visible field for the column id please?
😃

@Brett we've no plan to move in such direction (custom scripting on form, etc.) because we're trying to create a tool for non-technical users.
You can easily extract these numbers from browser URL on particular view/column page.

Not a problem, Slava. 😃

I had 30 to do in a row today and it was a bit time consuming but otherwise it was easy.

Just found ColumnId() in Formula Language Reference page:
https://www.teamdesk.net/help/13.3.aspx
under TEXT FUNCTIONS...

Looks like I can skip searching for Column Id's and now use this function to return the column Id...
Nice
