Hello Gliders,
I would like you to ask for help with an app I’m building for a client.
The app is pretty simple.
We have two databases:
• people database
• events database
The client wants to add any person attending the event from the single event page, but I have difficulty finding a solution to add the record to the people database when I’m on the events screen page with the events as the source.
I’ve built a relation between the two databases.
The app is developed on the client account, and I can’t share screenshots of the project with you.
Do you have any tips to make this work?

Take a look at the below, I’d imagine it can be applied to your use case.

> wave Hey fellow Gliders! If you haven’t heard of the Trebuchet method, it’s a term coined by @Lucas_Pires that refers to creating inline arrays. Inline arrays can be an efficient way to create relations without requiring a helper table thereby preserving your row count! Previously, the Trebuchet method required about 6 columns and 2 custom actions (4 updates to add and remove a single item). This new version of the Trebuchet method cuts that usage IN HALF star_struck (3 columns, 1 action). …

Thanks Darren, I’ll take a look!

I think I have to get this clarified though. Do you mean adding existing people in the people database in a field to confirm they’re attending an event? Or adding new people to the people database?

Yeah exactly Thin! Adding existing people in the people database to confirm they’re attending the event and show a list of the people attending the event in the event page.

Then I think the trebuchet method Darren linked to would help.
