This article documents the [objects this version supports](/v1/docs/qbl-version-02-overview#supported-objects), and [unsupported elements](/v1/docs/qbl-version-02-overview#unsupported-elements).

## Supported objects

These objects are supported in QBL v0.2:

- [Applications](/v1/docs/applications-qbl-v02)
- [Fields](/v1/docs/field-properties-qbl-v02) and [formula fields](/v1/docs/formula-field-properties-qbl-v02)
- [Relationships](/v1/docs/relationship-properties-qbl-v02)
- [Roles](/v1/docs/roles-qbl-v02)
- [Tables](/v1/docs/tables-qbl-v02)

## Unsupported elements

Objects in QBL are supported Quickbase schema. The following table shows supported schema and any exceptions or unsupported elements.

Unsupported elements are not included when a solution is exported.

| **Supported schema** | **Unsupported** |
| --- | --- |
| [Apps](/v1/docs/applications-qbl-v02) | - App variables **Temporarily unsupported:** - Apps with connected tables cannot be updated. This limitation will be removed soon. **Unsupported app settings:** - Allow users who are not administrators to make a Connected Table connection to this app - Only approved users may access this application - Only users logging in from approved IP addresses may access this application - Load all embedded reports on a form when the form loads - Private apps |
| [Tables](/v1/docs/tables-qbl-v02) |  |
| [Fields](/v1/docs/field-properties-qbl-v02) and [formula fields](/v1/docs/formula-field-properties-qbl-v02) | **Unsupported fields:** - vCard fields - iCalendar fields These fields are exported with the [Unsupported type](/v1/docs/field-properties-qbl-v02#unsupported-fields) in QBL. They cannot be created or updated by the QBL. To update or create these fields, do so manually in the Quickbase platform. Formulas that refer to these fields work as long as the fields exist. Because you cannot create unsupported fields using the QBL, tables that have these field types are likely to have a mismatch in field IDs between the QBL representation and the actual application. **Unsupported properties:** - Data change logs field property - Field caching for Summary fields |
| [Roles](/v1/docs/roles-qbl-v02) | Role permissions for unsupported objects. This includes the permission *List this report in the panel for* on reports and charts, and the option to specify a home page on pages and dashboards. |
| [Relationships](/v1/docs/relationship-properties-qbl-v02) | Cross-app relationships. For example, table to table relationships that connect tables in different applications are not supported. |
| [References](/v1/docs/qbl-definition-structure-and-syntax#references) | References (`!Ref`) can only refer to objects in the same application. They cannot refer to objects in the solution that are children of a different application. |
