Linked tables (foreign keys) #77

Closed timwis closed 7 years ago

This should probably be part of the way you set a cell's "type." You can set it to "number," "currency," "email," etc. per #31, and perhaps "linked field" is another type. You'll select the table, and then select the column of that table to use as a display field. Doing so will set a constraint on the column, and store the "display field" in the column's comment. The get query will then need to be altered to get that display column's value from the referenced table. This will be a sizable feature.
