Hi Christine,
As Austin was mentioning we are working right now to be very clear to all our builders that BOL and IOL based solutions are not something that we support. The most important reason to know that is that as we continue to focus on making the platform even better that means things previous built using BOL and IOL can and most likely will break over time. We love seeing the innovation that a lot of our builders bring to the platform and we appreciate the drive they have to make change happen in Quick Base but the original ability to use BOL and IOL stems from a bug that we do need to eventually close. The fact it can be done right now is a security concern and being trusted is a main principal for us. Builders relying on these techniques will result in instability so we want to make sure everyone is informed so they don't pour that effort into a fix that could not last.
We also want to make sure everyone knows that our product development team is laser focused on extensibility as a principal with our new UI work. To help give some clarity on options available to our builders and developers we do now have an
Extending QB doc in our Help that can be a great place to start and that we will be keeping up to date as we continue to develop these practices.
