Does anyone know of a good way to more clearly indicate that a field in a Kinetic Updatable Dashboard is updatable? In classic the field was white, which other fields were a lighter grey, it was subtle but it worked. I’m looking for the best way to do something similar with Application Studio. I thought about a column name indicator like an asterisk or something, but that seems silly. I thought I could do Data Rules to make those fields a different color, but that would be a static setting and I liked how Classic was dynamic. Maybe I’m missing a property setting or something? Just looking for a better more elegant way before I proceed with these crude workarounds. ---

Unfortunately we haven’t found a better way to do this either. Ended up resorting to creating a Data Rule that highlighted our updatable fields a different color, but like you said, it’s a static rule that won’t highlight new updatable fields until we update the rule. ☹ ---

This is what I ended up doing… I kinda wish I could put a pencil icon in the column header. ---

🤦‍♂️ Duh Unicode… I can add a pencil to the column header title That was easy… copy/paste it ✎ or `✎` ![image](https://www.epiusers.help/uploads/default/original/3X/d/c/dc1f15b68bac9ef57988d51e479106934c72322c.png)
