Legal values

  • true if the column is based on a simple function or formula

Usage

If you specify a column as a formula whose value is the name of a field, the column is considered a field. The formula must contain only the name of the field. For example, "Subject" is a field but "@Trim(Subject)" is a formula.

This property returns false if the column is based on a field value.
