To modify your AI-created column and add new criteria while keeping the original ones: 1. Right-click your existing column and select Edit Column 2. For Formula columns: Click into the AI Formula Generator box, modify your instructions to include both original and new criteria, then click Generate Formula 3. For Use AI columns: Update your Prompt section to include the additional criteria alongside your existing requirements 4. Use "/" to reference columns when adding conditions that depend on other data in your table 5. Review the sample output before saving to ensure both original and new criteria are working correctly The key is editing the existing column rather than creating a new one, so you preserve your original logic while expanding it.
you mean I can write in the box “dscribe the formula you want” and it will keep the old formula + adding modifications?
When you edit an AI formula, you need to manually include both your original criteria and new modifications in the "describe the formula you want" box. The AI doesn't automatically preserve your previous instructions - it generates a completely new formula based on what you write. You can iterate on your prompts and adjust the wording to include both old and new requirements. Use the preview feature to ensure both your original and new criteria are working correctly before saving.
So I copy and paste origina criteria that are formatted and then add my new described criteria?
Yes, exactly. When editing an AI formula, you need to manually include both your original criteria and new modifications in the "describe the formula you want" box. The AI generates a completely new formula based on what you write - it doesn't automatically preserve your previous instructions. You can iterate on your prompts and adjust the wording to include both old and new requirements, then use the preview feature to ensure everything works correctly before saving.
Hello Lea! Thanks for reaching out! This looks unusual because the original formula prompt you wrote in Natural Language should remain in the formula box above and not disappear. Did you create the formula using our generator?
