Can the Tables created in loop add similar functionality to edit the ghost text to reflect the headers? and furthermore, allow for functions used in MS Excel be used to automate some functions like generation an identifying issue number?

    Loop tables (Loop components of type table) support collaborative editing, but the provided information does not describe:

    • Any feature to automatically change or "ghost" placeholder text in rows based on the column headers, or
    • Any support for Excel-style formulas or functions inside Loop tables (such as using Excel functions to generate IDs or issue numbers).

    Loop components created in Teams and Outlook are stored as .loop files in OneDrive and can be edited across Teams, Outlook, Loop, Whiteboard, OneNote, and other Microsoft 365 surfaces, but they are not described as embedding Excel calculation functionality.

    To automate identifiers today, Excel tables with formulas would need to be used in Excel itself; this behavior is not documented for Loop tables in the provided material.
