Hi everyone!

In my application the user can upload invoices. Glide AI extracts the text and multiple values.

But I want them to also be able to manually edit the values. For example if the AI didn’t catch it or got it wrong.

How do I do this?

I thought about creating a ‘If Then Else’ column which takes the AI column content IF it’s not empty. But this kind of column doesn’t allow for manual text entry. Also the AI puts out an error message if it can’t find the value, so it’s never empty anyway.

Thank you a lot in advance!

P.S: Can I maybe somehow choose the AI column as the default value for the ‘text entry’ component?

Don’t try to edit the value in a computed column, because you can’t. Instead, you probably could create a separate basic column for user input. Then create an IF column that returns the user input if it’s not empty, else return the AI value.
