AI Assistant
The assistant can add fields now, not just read them
“Add a renewal date to deals.” “Contacts need a lead-source dropdown with referral, website and event.” “Deals should link to a project.” It does them - including the fiddly ones: a link between two objects creates the matching field on the other side, a lookup checks it can actually read the field you named, and a formula is validated against your real fields before it’s saved rather than silently computing nothing on every record. This is the thing that was holding the rest back. Ask it to build a form and map an answer to a field that doesn’t exist yet, and its only option used to be to tell you to go and make it first. It won’t delete fields. Deliberately: deleting one destroys that data on every record at once, and deleting a link tears down the whole relationship. Adding and renaming are reversible; that isn’t, so it stays a decision you make on the screen with the warning in front of you. It also won’t let you end up with “Phone” and “Phone number”. Ask for a field that already exists under a slightly different name and it points at the existing one instead of quietly making a second. Renaming is always safe - the underlying key never changes, so reports, forms and automations keep working. Admin only: editing a value and changing what values are possible are different powers.
