Constants in relationships

[passando]

I find myself having to create global fields to store a constant to use in a relationship. It would be easier if I could use a constant in the relationship directly. Also, a global field can only be used as a 'left value' whereas a constant could be used on either side of a relationship. A constant would not need initialising each time the file was opened.

This could be me not understanding something that could be done otherwise but would it be a suitable thing to suggest the platform developers?

It's been suggested but you could certainly suggest it again.

Perhaps if you could provide an example case, we would be able to suggest alternatives.
