Computed

No
Relative Time is computed. It shows how long since (or until) a Date Time on the same row. You do not type a value.
Name, key, hidden, and permissions are the same for every column — see Tables.
Configure
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Target field | Date Time column to measure from |
After you change Config, use Recalculate values on the column menu if existing rows look stale.
Use case
- “Opened 3 days ago” or “due in 2 hours” next to a Date Time you already store.
- SLA and follow-up views where the team cares about elapsed time, not the raw timestamp.
- Keep Created At hidden and show this column as the human-readable age of the row.
