Selecting dependencies for calculated fields
Expose everything a calculation needs so it can be evaluated correctly in the target database
When a module provider exposes a calculated field in a module, all dependency fields referenced by the calculation must also be exposed. Dependencies include any fields used in the formula or script.
If required dependencies are missing, the calculated field can't be evaluated correctly in the target database.
During the connection flow, module consumers must select all dependencies for exposed calculated fields. Consumers can then:
- Map the calculated field to an existing field in the target database, or
- Create new tables and fields from scratch
If dependencies aren't selected, the calculated field can't be connected.
