Simulate a For Loop (Reference position inside FormulaMap)

@Lloyd_Montgomery and I recently discussed FormulaMap():

@Lloyd_Montgomery

Accessing the different contexts such as thisRow and CurrentValue are not consistent. The Coda developers have a very difficult problem of handling data types across a system that doesn’t have strict-typing (appropriately so). Therefore, questions such as “what contexts does this function have access to” and “how do I explicitly access certain variables” are not always clear.

I run into these context issues often, and usually have to rely on trial and error to arrive at a solution, without ever truly understanding why that solution works and another doesn’t.

Would appreciate some official clarification on this!!
