In Vision the table would automatically enforce the proper data entry on cell edit. If the column was an integer, you couldn’t shove text in it. Does Perspective not do the same thing? I’m assuming it’s on us to check for the correct data? In the end, the database will not allow it, but I just don’t like errors in the logs if I can help it.

Can anyone give their two pennies? Is this up to us and scripting to make sure the correct data is being input?
