Documentation

Non-nil means evaluation of formula can add new columns.

When non-nil, evaluating an out-of-bounds field can insert as many columns as needed. When set to warn, issue a warning when doing so. When set to prompt, ask user before creating a new column. Otherwise, throw an error.

This variable was added, or its default value changed, in Org version
8.3.
