The {} button in AI field instructions inserts references to other fields in your dataset. When the AI generates content, these references are replaced with actual values from each record.
How It Works
Click the {} button below the Instructions label to open a field picker. Select any existing field from your dataset. Atlas inserts a reference using curly brace syntax: {field_name}.
When AI processes each record, it reads the referenced field's value and uses it as context. A single instruction can reference multiple fields.
Usage
