Special permissions needed for new MDA Calculated Field (formula) feature?

I was eager to try out the calculated field/formula feature in MDA that was just released, but for some reason when I create a Number field on an object in my sandbox, the Calculated Field appears but it is not selectable and I cannot click Create Formula.

Anyone else encounter this or just me?

Hey Jeff, if you go back and save the object, then return to the field you want to be calculated -- you should be able to create the calculation.

This happened to me, too. I believe what is happening is before the object is saved, it doesn't have enough (i.e. 2) saved numeric fields to create a calculated field.

Thanks Connor that did it.  I guess I stupidly thought I could pull a field in from a joined object.

Much appreciated!!

That's not a stupid requirement at all, Jeff! :)
