Using DataMesh to Split One Line Onto Multiple Lines (for Forms Entries and Other Uses)

The 2 individual sheets have questions which are similar to each other and questions which are completely different (they are 2 forms of questionnaires). The master sheet is used to merge the answers of the similar questions and all other…

Add "Notes" attribute to meshes and pivots
It can be difficult to track the full flow of a process from end to end via meshes and pivots. If a new "notes" attribute could be added to both mesh and pivot configurations, the users could add some brief documentation to help later maintenance/tracing.
