For some reason within Merge Column types it doesn't remember your AI prompt.

    Hey there! Could you help me understand what's happening when you duplicate the column? A quick Loom video showing the issue would be really helpful for me to better assist you. - Happy Wednesday👋

    Hey Tyler! Thanks for your patience. The Engineering team confirmed that merge columns currently can't save AI formula prompts. However, we've submitted this as a feature request and will keep you updated on any progress. In the meantime, a workaround is to create a merge formula in a formula column. This works similarly to a merge column, but with one key difference: the prompt will be saved since it’s not a merge column. I made a quick recording showing an example below. Let me know if this helps! https://downloads.intercomcdn.com/i/o/w28k1kwz/1275969852/a547ee984b8df2b487712911b8e7/CleanShot+2024-12-04+at+10_09_37.gif?expires=1733305500&signature=d3ec1f6e9bc080b46d18370b936366d3e516531a0958b86cf45143e37cb2fab4&req=dSIgE8B4lIlaW%2FMW1HO4zXZHuhEdPF8U%2BvFaQ4dlPdo9j%2F8oxYA0EjyRMdcC%0AK%2Fu6%0A

    Thanks! This is a good alternative but doesn't really work well if you're using a lot of unique formulas. When all the formulas for the merge fields are combined into a single text column formula it overwhelms the AI formula generator and doesn't function well. Submitting a feature request works for me. My project is working ok as it is right now, was just passing along helpful upgrades.
