allow adding "formula" custom field typ to different location
Rüdiger Biebl
Situation: Currently, there is no option to add a formula (custom field) to different locations (lists e.g.). The only way is to dublicate the formula in the new location.
Solution: Formula custom fields should be allowed to be added to different locations in the custom field manager.

Adding a comment in support of this - this type of custom field should behave like all other custom fields. Or if it can't, it should be possible to add it to multiple locations.
If you add it to another location and click 'calculate' you can see it shows the preview of the calculation (ie "entire column: 37.66" in example attached), so it's frustrating this isn't followed through.

This is something i recently ran into, not sure why formula fields need to be replicated/duplicated and can't simply be added like any other field. Assuming it has to do with the field manager not having functionality currently to run a check to see if the fields used within the formula are in the give list/space/folder before adding the Formula field.
As formula's are a great value add to any list/view/dashboard, I would highly recommend enabling it to modified like every other field or else the field manager could have many duplicates, which also makes the dropdown when selecting a field for a list view cluttered and confusing.
