unable to access release capacity in calculated columns

What is the challenge?

Cannot reference release capacity from a calculated column.

What is the impact?

we are trying to segment a team's available capacity into various categories based on percentages, e.g., capacity for strategic roadmap, capacity for customer requests and track that usage by release. Inability to do this results in more bad data hygiene contributing to poor planning and a general lack of faith in Aha as a product mgmt tool

Describe your idea

re-think your entire product strategy. Stop making features and focus on providing non-functional requirements that enable early detection and correction of data hygiene issues. All data needs to be accessible for reporting, calculated columns and automations.

    To add to this, we want to be able to compute capacity in points for various types of work using the release capacity and a set of %'s associated with each type o work and then compare that to the estimates for all features in the release to understand if we are under or over our target allocations. We could compute the capacity in points for the various types in a report as a calculated column if we could access the release capacity, but we cannot. Sure we can use Excel or some other BI tool to do this, but working around Aha's limitations is costing us time and money.
