How do you handle type constraints? For example, how do you prevent users from inputing text in to number fields? I know Google Sheets has validators, but I don't know of any way to restrict someone from changing those validations while also providing the ability to input data.

Really curious, because I'd love to use something like this in our app.

My situation is for an intranet environment, so I suppose I could just ask nicely that they don't change validations. But chances are most of my target users aren't familiar enough with Google Spreadsheets to even get that far.
