When creating a column to display a Chronicles item, how is formatting applied?

• A. It automatically formats according to the item's data type
• B. It requires manual formatting
• C. It uses user presets only
• D. It uses global defaults

Answer: (A)

Formatting is driven by the data type of the Chronicles item. When you place a value in a column, the rendering engine automatically applies the appropriate formatter for that type, so dates appear as readable date strings, numbers show proper decimals and separators, booleans render in a clear true/false or checkbox style, and plain text stays as-is. This automatic, type-based formatting keeps displays consistent and readable without any manual tweaks. If you ever need something nonstandard, you’d adjust formatting at the column level, but the default behavior relies on the item’s data type.
