Linked Fields and Calculated Fields in Query Fields

ShotGrid

#1

Hello!

At the moment, shotgun can’t use query fields in calculated fields.
You also can’t use linked fields in calculated fields, which is a massive obstacle for us in a lot of cases.

We can make duct-tape solutions using the API, but has anyone found a way to get around this with general use of the UI in shotgun?

Thanks,

Bump from me - I’m struggling with calculated fields too.
The worst part is, that it seems that they had a solution ready, but decided not to include it in shotgun - see here: https://support.shotgunsoftware.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/209477948/comments/212707798

Jeez, all the way back in 2015. Brutal.

I wonder why it was never implemented?
