Hey guys, I’m using a button to “add new row” Every time I fill out the form, my new row is automatically double. Tried using it on the google sheet I built the app with initially, then tried copying the sheet into glide tables (which I plan on migrating everything to) Both scenarios, my app creates the item and a duplicate. Am I doing something wrong? ---

Hi @teehalz 👋 If you are using the Add Row action in a form then it duplicates. Remove that action and try. Thank you ---

Forms add rows on their own. That’s the purpose of a form. If you add an additional add row action, on submit, to the same table with the same data, then yes, you will get a duplicate. ---

> [@Dilon\_Perera](#): > > n a form then it duplicates. Remove that action and try. Dilon - thank you for the reponse, I appreciate it! All this button does is open a form edit screen ([Image 2021-12-31 at 10.40.4...](https://share.getcloudapp.com/DOumgrmw)) should I embed a form on this page instead? Or am I still duplicating the step? I realize this is probably a super easy fix and I’m just overthinking it / missing one step. Thank you! ---

You rock, sir. I was just about to post that your comment helped me figure it out – I switched action on form submit to “close form” > **[Screen Recording 2021-12-31 at 10.46 AM](https://share.getcloudapp.com/BludJWGk)** > > Shared with CloudApp Thank you so much for the help, my 2 hours spent on this at 2AM last night were not enough and it was really just that simple… 🤣 Thank you again, happy new year! ---

I might be overstepping my boundaries here and am happy to pay for this advice as well… if I can hire you for a consultation drop your link and I’ll book it. I have another question on categories and relations. This 48 second screen recording shows what I’m coming up with. Problem is - I built my first app on google sheets. For this version, I’d like to use Glide tables. I’m rebuilding as such but cannot figure out my category relation. In my sheet, I have 3 columns that enable a category selection. In the new one, I’d like to just have one “Categories” column where multiple can be selected. For whatever reason, I cannot get the relation to pull correctly. > **[Screen Recording 2021-12-31 at 10.56 AM](https://share.getcloudapp.com/6quEkGwo)** > > Shared with CloudApp ---

I think what you might be looking for is an array column? Are you trying to replicate sequentially numbered columns in a google sheet, that become a single array column in glide? If I’m assuming correctly, you can either have separate columns for each category, then join them together with a template column, separating each value with a comma or some other delimiter (or you can simply have a single text column with a delimited list of items). Then use a Split Text column to split the values in your template or text column into an array of values that you can use for relations. ---

With Split Text Column.

I really appreciate you taking the time to make that video! That is very helpful. I copied exactly as you said – and it’s still not pulling in. Which is odd, because it works perfectly on my google sheet, albeit a slightly different way (with the array as above comment mentioned) I tried deleting all and re adding as well, still no avail. Not sure which part I’m missing. Actually tried recreating in a completely different app and no luck as well either. Is this because I’m using Row IDs? ---

I figured it out - my categories had incorrect spacing in almost all of them. This video shows it - so the naming was just off. Thank you so much for taking time out of your day to help me out - I really appreciate it! Thank you! ---

As I watch this I just wish I could figure out the whole subcategory thing like you have! I want several levels filtered down…
