I know I’ve seen this request before but I can’t find it now. I have a use case for an Action to run when an app is opened (I’m sure others could make use of this sort of action too). For me, I need to make sure a value is cleared when the app is opened so that a process always starts “fresh”. Currently, a user can get part-way through a process, close the app, then return to the app. I’d like the process to start fresh each time the app is opened as it functions a LOT better when the process is done start-to-finish in the same session. Currently, I have built actions to clear a user-specific column at certain points of the process, but some of them could be avoided if I could clear the value on App opening. ---

I’d suggest you exactly this as I’ve been doing too. * * * +1 for this PS: I don’t know if glide team prefer here or the [Feature Request app](https://features.staging.glideapp.io/), but if you also include it there, add the link here, so we can vote it ---
