Colours for link to table field

Please, I have one question. Is it possible to add different colours to multiple selection-linked fields (i.e., fields that come from another table), similar to single or multiple select fields? I appreciate any help you can provide.

hello @domar and welcome to the Baserow community :wave:

Unfortunately, this isn’t currently possible. However, I’ll discuss it with the team as a potential new feature request. :slightly_smiling_face:

Hey @domar, the problem is that we don’t know how to decide which colors to apply. Should it be done using the row coloring settings or perhaps based on the single select field? How do you see this feature being implemented?

@olgatrykush

I would very much like to see this feature implemented for both linked and lookup fields.

Since it is the rows themselves that are linked from the related table, rather than single-select fields, the colouring cannot be based on those fields.

However, the formatting options available in single- and multiple-select fields could serve as an example.

Ideally, the linked field menu would display all associated values — much like a single- or multiple-select field — allowing us to assign colours to the linked or looked-up entries.

Hey @Mary-Lou, we discussed this feature with the team, and unfortunately, we don’t think we’ll be moving forward with it for now. Link-to-table and lookup fields work quite differently from single/multiple select fields — we can’t simply assign colors to the linked values, and we don’t currently see a feasible way to implement this.

If you have any examples or references showing how this feature is handled in other tools, please feel free to share them — we’d be happy to revisit the request. Thank you! :slightly_smiling_face:
