Type detection in 'if' statement

Hi, I tried to add the following calculated column; the output is not what I would expect.
A couple of months ago I asked for a “toString” function, and you thought it was not necessary.

Changing the type from ‘Auto’ to ‘String’ crashes the browser.

This doesn’t work either:

Hi, the toString() function will appear in the next platform update.

Indeed, DG now can’t convert values implicitly. You need explicitly convert data to a proper type.
We will fix browser crash, of course, and there is a room to improve error handling in Add New Column.
