It does however state "Column Heads for database-originated list entry source now taken from the database columns" in the document change history. Section 2.4 also shows the List Entries but provides no example of headings. The only and difficult to find bit of information which I overlooked last time that shows headings will apply to List Entries is in the compatibility section, where it states Headings is No. This does infer headings will exist for List Entries, but it is not stated that this option could be changed from No to Yes if the user wanted to for List Entries. As you can guess I had to read quite carefully to find the above, so I thought perhaps it should be clearly stated in Section 2.4 in release 0.2 of the document. > > > The idea could be extended slightly to include all list types > > including the Tablefields. > > I am not sure which version you're reading.
