New default record picker behavior
Record pickers on new tables (customizable in Advanced Table Settings) now default to listing the first three fields that were added to the table. Previously, the default record picker listed the Record ID first, which is often not a helpful value to display. This new behavior will make table-to-table relationships more intuitive for new builders and reduce the need to change this default. As a part of this change, modifying the Key Field in a table no longer impacts what is displayed in the record picker.
Improved scrolling behavior in new table report
Now the column header row and sticky first column will stay put on the screen as you scroll without dancing in and out of view. This also resolves an issue where users could sometimes scroll past the end of a grouped report. We have also updated the appearance of the button to show or hide the filters section.
