document that [$fieldName] only works if fieldName is in view
There is a section that explains that I can use [$fieldName] to do conditional formatting based on the value of other columns in my list. However, that section should contain an explanation that if fieldName is not part of the current view then this is NOT possible.
So if I have a view with fields A and B and my field A is formatted with style of "=if([$B]=='foo', { 'color': 'red' }, { 'color': 'yellow' })" that will work until I try it in a view of that list that does not contain column B. At that point I will always get yellow - just as if I used "=if([$NonexistentField]=='foo', ...)".
