      Are there any formula fields or types that displays the result of a calculation or MQL?

      Is there a type that can hold a calculation so an app can execute a query and display the result in the field?

       Is there a type that can hold display a calculation if a static text isn't specified?

      For example, a multiracial person has more than one ethnicity and each ethnicity is a fraction. A multiracial person's ethnicity and ethnicity fraction can be calculated by the person's parents' ethnicity or ethnicities. If a person's parent's ethnicity isn't specified, an ethnicity and fraction can be specified instead of calculated.

      Instead of specifiying the ethnicity of every person, only the parents of the person would have to be filled in and inherited.

        We don’t currently have dynamic properties. They are on a few wish lists, but the specification details are extremely hairy. Now that our tracking system is public, I would encourage you to file this in your own words there, with what features you would like to see, so you can get a more concrete idea of its progress.
