> [@Carl\_Johnson](#): > > When I use a \*collection, and set column action I don’t see a way to select how to write into another table… This gets a little tricky. What you need is to somehow create a single relation in the collection source table that links to the row you are trying to update. Then a set column action can set a value through the relation. How that works depends on a few things be generally you would store the RowID of the row you are editing somewhere, then use a single value column to bring it into choice source table, and then create the relation from that. I’m not doing anything like that in my sample app. I’m not really using it like a choice component. Moreso like a checklist style collection. > [@Carl\_Johnson](#): > > Also - love the way you list the buttons and the title all on one line. I imagine this is custom CSS? (on maker plan so I don’t think I can tweak) There is no CSS involved in my example. There are no buttons. Although I am using a classic app (really need to rewrite this as a new app template so it can be copied), it’s just a standard list and I’m just displaying an emoji as an image. > [@Carl\_Johnson](#): > > Would it be crazy to request that Glide support custom actions on choice components? Not at all. This is something that is sorely needed. There’s already at least one request out there. > [@Action on choice component](https://community.glideapps.com/t/action-on-choice-component/29167): > > Would be nice to have an action attached to a choice component. we a choice is selected, there is a set column action that internally updates the column with the value, would be great if we could create a custom action to add to this single action for example: show notification, set column in a relation etc… --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/add-actions-to-checkbox/77299)._
