<Tip title="Column Types vs Field Types">
  Polarion field types and Risksheet column types are related but distinct. A Polarion string field can be displayed as a date column, and an integer field can be shown as an enum. When the `type` property is not explicitly set in a column definition, Risksheet auto-detects the type from the Polarion field metadata. See [Supported Field Types](/risksheet/reference/fields/supported-field-types) for the mapping between Polarion storage types and Risksheet display types.
