Hi everyone. When a form is submitted in my app, I got a action that is setting column values. The data is briefly added, and then it’s deleted somehow… Does someone have a solution for that? Thank you in advance! ![Screenshot 2024-04-10 080429](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/7/37568d128df6359843e72643456dc5b8c4e48a7a.png) ![Screenshot 2024-04-10 080436](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/a/2a8a4cbea3386044b8031c18d3733cdd4500e4c1.png) ![Screenshot 2024-04-10 080442](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/5/f58de97463b6afdd3e6da1357fa8cce233ac846f.png) ---

The solution is not to use Set Column values in a Form onSubmit action. Instead, pass the values with the Form. App Users email can be passed directly with the form. The other two (Project/Type and Delivery/Status) can either be passed as Column values, User Profile values, or default values with a hidden input component. > **[Values | Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/reference/values)** > > The different types of values you can work with in Glide. ---

Hi Darren, thank you for your response. I have tried to add 2 text entry components with a default value instead, and then hidden them with the visibility condition. But it does not seem to work, do you know what I’m doing wrong? ![Screenshot 2024-04-10 154047](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/1/b13bf88414a2c4f2135d8574e52d959d696d77b2.png) ![Screenshot 2024-04-10 154052](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/7/7723fb0d9449aa9fc321c37ee00ef5cc7717e0e2.png) ![Screenshot 2024-04-10 154056](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/f/bfd7e60717be1161c53c921d2c240539c9a0119a.png) ---

I don’t often use this method, but I just tested to make sure it works - which it does. The only difference I can see with your setup is that you’ve applied the visibility condition to the parent container, rather than the individual components. I don’t think it will make any difference, but you could try changing that and instead apply the visibility condition to each component. ---

I don’t think it will make any difference, but you could try changing that and instead apply the visibility condition to each component. I encountered this a few weeks ago, if you put that into a container, then it won’t pass no matter what you try. I had to move them out. ---

It worked when I moved it out of the container, thank you Darren. ---

I was not thinking that it would effect it, but it did. When I moved them out of a container, it worked. Thank you ---
