Hi

 

Very quick one today, would someone be able to tell me what the difference is between using [@DATASOURCE] vs just DATASOURCE.

 

i.e

Choices([@Company].CompanyStatus)

vs

Choices(Company.CompanyStatus)

 

I ask because today I've been building a app with a SharePoint data source and for some reason I am having to use [@datasource] on all the formulas.  Just using the datasource name wasn't allowing me to select columns and just giving me wiggly red lines everywhere.

 

Thanks

Rob
