My app’s URL: [https://go.glideapps.com/app/k9nW8HCBywCLuDryKgga](https://go.glideapps.com/app/k9nW8HCBywCLuDryKgga) I’ve got a button called “Invite to Spar 2” which appears on the each of the detail pages on my app. When a user clicks that button, I want a new row to populate on a tab called “Invitations” on my Google Sheet. The new row should consist of 2 values, 1 in column A and 1 in column B. I want the value in column A to be the current user’s name and the value of column B to be the name tied to the details page where the user clicked the button. I’ve currently got a Zapier set up that performs the action in column B perfectly, however the value in column A is always blank. I’ve tried changing the Zapier inputs for column A to different user-associated and detail-page-associated values. The user-associated values are always blank. The detail-page-associated values always flow through. Can anyone help? -CF ![Screen Shot 2020-09-29 at 8.30.21 PM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/c/c4b6a356f956919948d1a139b87d0ba8f0b793e2.png) ---

Use a button with ‘show form’ action. Pass the current user’s email as the value for column 1. Use the name from the detail screen as the value for column 2. ---

I don’t want the user to have to input any data–I want them to be able to click the button and exactly the functionality that I initially described occurs: a column on a google sheet is populated with certain values. I don’t believe the ‘show form’ action will work here for that reason. ---

Can you try making a template of the user value as a column in the source sheet of the page you’re viewing, then pass that to Zapier instead? ---

Hi Thinh–I will still need a way to associate the current user in order to correctly pass that value. Unless I’m missing something, the only way for me to pass a value associate with the _current user_, is to use the functionality built into GlideApps to _select_ a user-associated value. (I.e. Values with this icon: ![Screen Shot 2020-10-05 at 10.29.28 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/1/1debfb56551fea2eda8e4418fc12775bcb90130c.png) ) To me, this really seems like a bug. ---

Here’s a screenshot to show what the google sheet looks like after triggering the Zap/clicking the button a few times on different pages. ![Screen Shot 2020-10-05 at 10.31.26 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/5/5dde78c213ab9155fff579cf6053c792c5c355a4.png) ---

The template column allows you to select a user-associated value. Can you try and let me know? ---

Ahh, I didn’t know what a ‘template column’ was but I just implemented it for the first time and it worked! Thank you! ---
