Adding current userID column

Hello everyone

I am back with a basic question :woman_facepalming:

I am introducing the whole Users table and concept.
There is a Meeting table.
I need to add a column that will store the current UserID who creates this meeting.

The GlideAI guided me but the solution does not work.
What do I miss?

There is a User table with RowID as a userid

In the Meeting table i add a UserId column, user-specific, text type.
The Meetings are created using Glide form.

AI says UsierID in Meeting should be filled automatically with rowID from Users.

But is does not
I clearly miss something ))

Many thanks :green_heart:

On the page where it says which column the values are saved to, is there a User ID column there? If so, you could populate that with the Row ID of the user.

As an example for additional columns although yours will look different with the columns in your meeting table:

Do not make it user specific. If you do, it will be a big headache later when you only see an ID in meetings you created, but empty for meetings other people created. User specific means multiple users can store different values in the same cell. That is not your intention, so do not make it user specific.

Take AI with a grain of salt. It can make things up. No it will not automatically populate. You have to specify what you want placed in each column.

If you are using a form container, you should have a section on the right where you can fill the user ID using values from the user profile as @Matthew_Lindop pointed out. If you are instead using a regular form screen, you can add a user profile component, which would contain any value from the user table.

You should not need to use a template column for any of this.
