I'd like to propose a field that would aggregate (concatenate) text values of other fields. In many apps first (title) field is just retyping informations already introduced in others fields. For example Task app could have 'Title' @ShortDescryption + '-' + @Owner. Especially in calendar views (Google Calendar also) this type of redundant information is needed.

  I see no one has responded to this, but this is possible, for example:

  In my contact's app i have a [First Name] field and a [Last Name] field. i ahve concatenated these using the following

  First Name + " " + Last Name

  Works a treat!!

  @Dominik Seitz it would have been in a calc field yes, and you can use reference field values in calcs...
  
  You need to use the field name that you want in the referenced item, and typically use @All of fieldname (this returns an array of values).  To turn that array into a string (text), just add .toString() at the end.
  
  Lots more info/ideas here

  Pete Cuff  I was under the impression that you can't reference relationship fields because if you type "@" in the calculations field it shows a list of available fields but not relationship fields. Thank you for your help.
