Hi,
Below the details for this feature request.
Problem:
In the Workshop module’s object table, adding a linked object property can result in hundreds of duplicated values depending on the number of related objects and their content. This makes it difficult to identify distinct values and reduces usability.
The current workaround requires creating a custom function to deduplicate results. However, this must be implemented separately for each object and each link, which becomes inefficient and time-consuming in environments with many relationships.
Proposed Solution:
Introduce a built-in option to display distinct (deduplicated) values for linked object properties directly within the object table. This could be implemented as a toggle or setting (e.g., “Show unique values only”) applied at the property level.
Use Cases:
-
Viewing a clean list of unique linked values without duplicates
-
Simplifying analysis of relationships between objects
-
Reducing the need for custom functions when working with multiple linked datasets
Benefits:
-
Improved readability and usability of object tables
-
Reduced manual effort and configuration overhead
-
Faster data exploration and decision-making
-
More scalable workflows when handling large numbers of objects and links
Thanks,
Rita
