Creating new column types in modern SharePoint lists and libraries

Hi all, 

Thank you for your feedback.  We hear you.

You're right that our focus over the past year has been to make it easy for small teams to get started with SharePoint and build simple information architectures and content management schemes for their teams to work smarter.  Aside from labels, we have not done a lot in the past year to enable better information governance management across a division or organization.  

We agree that it's really valuable to be able to manage content structure and governance across multiple sites.  Hub sites, a new Intranet building block that we announced at Ignite this year, will make it possible to manage navigation links, theme, and logo across all sites in the hub.  We're evaluating more site elements that should be configurable across sites in a hub: content types, metadata, views, templates, etc.  

Does this make sense, and do you agree that this is a sensible direction?  Keep in mind that the plan for hub sites is still being developed - nothing is set in stone.  But managing settings and structure across teams is definitely top of mind for us right now.
