I think you can structure it a bit differently here.

I saw your other thread, I assume it’s the entry fields when the user first enter the app.

> We have created an App related to Pay packages, which can be used by employees to boost their earnings. Only 2 default values (fixed and variable pay packages) are coming from GSheet & all other values are getting calculated in Glide Tables. We’re currently experiencing an issue wherein it is taking 2mts for the 2 default values (from GSheet) to reflect on Glide App when a new user logs in, until then the users sees blank non editable data fields, making it seem like the App is not working. E…

Then I assume you can do something like this:

- Show a number entry with a placeholder (not a default value, it’s still empty by default). The placeholder can be dynamic based on your user’s other pieces of data.
- Let them edit that field as they want, but if they leave it empty, when the user does an action that moves them out of the current screen, set the default value to the fields. Else keep it as is.
