Ability to include grandparent fields in grandchild tables and forms
Lets say I have a table (T1) with a parent table (P1), which in turn has a parent table P2. I'd like for the ability to pull fields from P2 into T1's table, forms and views easily. Right now I have to pull them into P1 first before I can use them in T1.

This is a simple but extremely valuable suggestion. It would reduce the number of fields by 30-40% in many of our tables, with a consequent reduction in complexity of a similar magnitude.
Any update on where this sits in the development road map?

This would save sooo many fields, filters and views on my end!

Hi Karthik,
This is a great enhancement that is definitely on our radar! We'll update this post with any new developments.
This functionality would greatly help in reducing redundancy in our "P1" table by not having to calculate everything from "P2" in order to get the information on our "T1" views and forms.

Alex
