Here an example:

To reproduce:

  • Click any cell
  • Click Insert Column left or right from the context menu, notice how it works

  • Retry to insert a column and notice the error

Hi @nicola

I’m following your instruction, but I’m not able to get any errors. Can you please clarify this step?

  • Insert a value in the same cell

Do you mean the cell in newly created column, or the one you clicked initially to add the column?

I tried both ways, but still no errors.

I’ve made a video demonstration here:

Practically if I insert a value in a cell I’m not longer able to add a column.

Hi @nicola

Thank you. I was able to recreate the issue. It looks like the formulas plugin is responsible for it. I reported this bug internally, and I will update you when I get any updates on its status.

Hi @adrian.szymanski, do you have any update on this?
We are getting close to release date and need this functionality to be there. Is a github that I can follow for progress?

Hi @nicola

This issue is reported in out internal repository. We don’t put it on our roadmap yet. I will have more information on possible estimation next week.

Hi @nicola

Unfortunately we weren’t able to work on this issue yet. We will try to add to the next possible free slot, which means it should be done around March. I will update you when we have more specific timeline.
