# WRONG - colon in unquoted string

displayName: "Status: Active"

# WRONG - double quotes inside double quotes
formulas:

# CORRECT - single quotes wrapping double quotes

  label: 'if(done, "Yes", "No")'

# WRONG - Duration is not a number

# CORRECT - access .days first, then round

# WRONG - crashes if due_date is empty
