If I’m missing something obvious, I apologize, I’m new to Glide, and my app is working as I want, with one exception. I need an action that can do two things: reset a boolean column in all rows to false, and at the same time assign a random integer to another column. I can’t seem to find any way for an action to actually iterate over a table? Seems like basic functionality, am I missing something? ---

No, that doesn’t exist. > [@Ron](#): > > reset a boolean column in all rows to false, Other than using something external, probably the closest you can get to this is as described below: > [@Reset Multiple Rows At Once](https://community.glideapps.com/t/reset-multiple-rows-at-once/22211): > > There have been several requests for people to find a way to clear a value in multiple rows. I was thinking about that and came up with a quick example of a way to handle that. Instead of trying to clear a value in an entire column, I realized we could just change one value on a parent column, load it as a single value in our sheet and then compare that parent value to a column that we set or unset for each row. It’s not about clearing an entire column, it’s about making a value in each row n… > [@Ron](#): > > and at the same time assign a random integer to another column. There are a couple of plugins that might help with this. Have a look at the [Roll Dice](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/dice) & [Random Number](https://www.glideapps.com/plugins/random) plugins. ---

Sigh…ya, wish we had set column / delete rows over multiple relation already… ---

Hi, new user and I just want to +1 the need to iterate over rows. Also wondering if anyone came across a practical work-around. My current plan is write it in Python in a Zap and iterate over each row using the Tables API. But that seems very hacky. ---

That’s one of the only ways to do it at the moment though. Set Column / Increment over a multiple relation has been a feature request for almost 3 years now and Glide hasn’t yet developed it. > [@Ability to "Set columns", "Increment" and "Delete Rows" via multiple relations](https://community.glideapps.com/t/ability-to-set-columns-increment-and-delete-rows-via-multiple-relations/19584): > > Currently, the Action to “Set columns” only consider the current sheet or any single relations (to update a column in a single row). I’m trying to create a “bulk approval” process where the “set column” action could look at a multiple relation and update each corresponding row in that relation. @Mark any chance this is ever going to be a thing? @david mentioned this is the year for Glide to become more powerful. This request would certainly embody that goal.
