CMS Request: Using Expressions Within Collection Fields

Collecting votes
Currently, you can't use expressions directly inside CMS collection fields. For example, it's not possible to combine a first_name and last_name into a full_name field with CONCAT(first_name, " ", last_name). It's also not possible to set up a custom URL field based on other field values.

Allowing expressions in collection fields would let you automatically create calculated or formatted values without Velo or JavaScript. This approach, sometimes called calculated fields, would make your collections more dynamic and flexible.

Examples include creating display names, building custom URLs, formatting dates or numbers, or calculating totals. Updates would happen automatically as your data changes.
