## Feature Request: Add Native Action to Reset User-Specific Columns Across Rows

### Description

Please add a **built-in Glide action** that allows app creators to **reset user-specific columns across multiple rows** — triggered by a button or in-app action.

### Current Limitation

Glide currently does **not allow bulk operations on user-specific columns**. These values are isolated and cannot be modified in bulk using existing actions. As a result, developers are unable to implement common UX features like "Clear All" or "Reset" per user.

### Example Use Cases

- **Clear My Cart:** Reset all `Quantity` values to `0` for the signed-in user
- **Reset Selections:** Clear user-specific choices in a list or menu
- **Start Over:** Wipe all user-specific inputs (like a multi-row form)

### Proposed Solution

Add a new action in Glide:

- **Name:** `Reset Column Values`
- **Supports:** User-specific columns
- **Scope:** All rows in a table (or a filtered subset)
- **Effect:** Resets the chosen column for **only the signed-in user's data**

### Optional Enhancement

Add an option in the column settings or user profile to **auto-clear user-specific data** when:

- The user signs out
- The app is closed or refreshed
- The user session expires

This would support session-based apps or temporary input flows where data should not persist across sessions unless explicitly saved.

### Why This Matters

- Improves UX with native “clear/reset” features
- Reduces reliance on external tools and hacks
- Keeps the user-specific column model usable and flexible
- Empowers non-technical creators with advanced app logic
- Supports ephemeral or session-based data patterns

Thank you for considering this — it would unlock a huge amount of power for personalized, data-safe Glide apps without requiring full rebuilds or backend logic!
