Note: The first column of the Base is the index field, which cannot be deleted, moved, or hidden.

When you create a field using method 1, 2, or 3, field type recommendations will appear in the panel.
The recommendations are generated by AI based on the name of the base, table, and fields and the field types. Select a recommended field type, configure settings as needed, and click Confirm to add the recommended field. New recommendations will be given when a new field is created.
Note: Field recommendations are only available on the web version of Base.
