Can someone please help me here. I have set up a self hosted version of NocoDB with the help of coolify. I use Postgres as database. In principle everything works with the exception of the nested formulas. If I refer to a formula field in a formula, I either get the output ERR or an empty entry. I have no idea (I am also a beginner with nocodb) where I should start to solve the problem. all entries on the internet about nocodb only say that nested formulas work.

Node: **v22.14.0**  
Arch: **x64**  
Platform: **linux**  
Docker: **true**  
RootDB: **pg**  
PackageVersion: **0.262.2**

Please provide the details used in the formula and the column types to help. The above is insufficient to know what is leading to the issue.

Take a screenshot of your formula and details \> field (its easier)
