Why can't I reference a computed field using a snapshot field on a Result schema?

Issue

User would like to reference a computed field in a snapshot field on a Result schema, but computed fields do not appear in the Field picker when setting up the snapshot field.

Environment

Results, snapshot fields

Cause

Due to technical limitations*, computed fields cannot be referenced in snapshot fields on Result schemas.

(*A computed field may get stuck with a "Computing..." value when a snapshot is taken, with no straightforward way to update this to an actual value moving forward.)

Resolution steps

There is no workaround for referencing a computed field in a snapshot field.

Depending on the user's needs, you may be able to set up a lookup table/lookup column as a workaround in a Notebook entry.
