ITEM function cannot be used on composite lists with Summary of "Formula"

To reproduce:
1. Create a parent list and a composite child list.
2. Create a module with 1 line item with formula "ITEM(Child List)" and list formatted to "Child List". Applies To should be "Child List".
3. Change Summary to "Formula", the following error is shown:

The formula for 'mod1'.'item1' is invalid:

'item1' = ITEM(Child List)

'item1' does not apply to Child List

('item1' applies to Child List)

**Note the error says the line item does not apply to the list, even though it does!

@AnaplanIdeas could you please give us more details on which use case you wanted this feature to work and what you wanted to achieve doing this.

The Color Palette under Assets only applies to charts, but it’d be awesome if we could use it for font and text colors in NUX. It’s a bit tricky to remember or copy hex codes every time, and this would make pages so much easier to style and keep on-brand. A small change with a big visual impact!
Model Map - Exporting Functionality
While the Model Map functionality already exists in Anaplan, it becomes difficult to navigate when working with large models. I would like to see enhanced support for full export capabilities of the model schema (DISCO). This would greatly streamline documentation efforts and save time when capturing model status across…
Better communication regarding platform changes
I'd like to request implementing a formal notification system for upcoming platform changes and updates. This would be incredibly valuable for the Anaplan community for several reasons: Real Impact Example:Recently (Sept 2025), an unannounced Cloudworks change restricted .csv000 file imports. This resulted in: Failed…
