Column Type Reference Pages
Column Type Reference — Overview of all supported column types with their configuration properties, type identifiers, and auto-detection behavior
Data Types — Mapping between Risksheet column types, Polarion field types, and data serialization formats
Enum Columns — Single-select enumeration columns with custom or Polarion-defined option lists, using the enum:<enumId> type syntax
Multi-Enum Columns — Multi-select enumeration columns for fields that accept multiple values, rendered as chip/tag lists
Item Link Columns — Columns linking to single upstream or downstream work items with autocomplete and inline creation
Multi-Item Link Columns — Columns linking to multiple work items with sub-column support for displaying linked item properties
Task Link Columns — Columns for linking to downstream mitigation task work items with task ID generation and uniqueness validation
Calculated Columns — Formula-driven columns with client-side JavaScript calculations, automatically read-only
Server Render Columns — Columns rendered server-side using Velocity templates for complex data transformations
User Reference Columns — Columns for displaying and editing user assignments with Polarion user lookup
Date and Time Columns — Date, datetime, and time column types with configurable format strings and locale-aware parsing
Rich Text Fields — Columns displaying and editing rich text (HTML) content with known editing limitations
Column Type Categories
| Category | Types |
|---|
| Basic Types | string, int, float, boolean, date, datetime, time, currency, text |
| Link Types | itemLink, multiItemLink, taskLink |
| Enum Types | enum:<id>, multiEnum:<id>, rating:<id> |
| Special Types | ref:user (user reference), richText |
formula and serverRender are not column types — they are column properties that produce computed values. A computed column keeps a normal type (for example int) and adds a formula or serverRender property. See Calculated Columns and Server Render Columns.You do not always need to set the type property explicitly. Risksheet auto-detects the type from the Polarion field binding for standard fields. However, for sub-columns of linked items, custom enums, and rating columns, you must specify the type manually. See Column Type Reference for the full auto-detection rules. Key Column Properties
Every column type shares these common configuration properties:
| Property | Default | Description |
|---|
id | auto-generated | Unique identifier for the column |
bindings | col.id | Polarion field ID bound to the column |
header | col.header | Display text in the column header |
type | auto-detected | Column type determining editor and behavior |
width | auto | Column width in pixels |
readOnly | false | Whether cells are editable |
visible | true | Whether the column is displayed |
level | 1 | Visual hierarchy level (1-indexed; level: 1 maps to levels[0]) |
filterable | true | Whether users can filter by this column |
cellCss | none | Static CSS class applied to every cell in the column (defined in the styles block). Sibling of cellRenderer, which instead names a cellDecorators function that conditionally toggles classes per cell |
headerGroup | none | Group label for multi-level headers |
format property that controls how values are rendered in the grid and in exports. The format string patterns below come from the Nextedy support portal reference (KB article #48001173763).
Numeric formats use a letter (case-insensitive) optionally followed by a digit indicating the number of decimal places or width.
| Pattern | Meaning | Example input | Example output |
|---|
n* | Number with thousands separator and * decimal places | 1234.5678 with n2 | 1,234.57 |
f* | Fixed-point with * decimal places (no thousands separator) | 1234.5678 with f2 | 1234.57 |
g* | General — shortest of fixed or scientific notation | 0.0001234 with g3 | 0.000123 |
d* | Decimal integer, zero-padded to * digits | 42 with d4 | 0042 |
x* | Hexadecimal, zero-padded to * digits | 255 with x4 | 00ff |
c* | Currency with * decimal places (uses the configured culture) | 1234.5 with c2 | $1,234.50 |
p* | Percentage with * decimal places | 0.1234 with p1 | 12.3% |
*) is a digit specifying precision or width. Omitting the digit uses the default for that pattern.
Date and time formats use a single letter to select a built-in pattern. Output is localized according to the column’s configured culture.
| Pattern | Meaning | Example (en culture) |
|---|
d | Short date | 5/16/2026 |
D | Long date | Saturday, May 16, 2026 |
f | Long date + short time | Saturday, May 16, 2026 9:30 AM |
F | Long date + long time | Saturday, May 16, 2026 9:30:00 AM |
t | Short time | 9:30 AM |
T | Long time | 9:30:00 AM |
