Hi is my First time reporting a bug
Hello Glide Support Team,
I am experiencing difficulties with configuring a button to increment a counter in my Glide app. I have followed the recommended steps, but the functionality is not working as expected. Here’s a detailed description of what I have done so far:
Steps Taken:
Button Setup:
I added a button intended to increment a counter stored in a column named Contador.
Action Configuration:
I set the button action to “Set Column Values” to update the Contador column.
I attempted to configure the action to increment the current value by 1. However, I did not find an interface option to specify adding 1 to the current value directly, such as [Contador] + 1.
Testing:
After setting up, I tested the button by clicking it multiple times, but the counter does not continue to increase as expected. It seems to only add 1 once and then stops.
Additional Information:
I am using the free version of Glide, and I am unsure if this might be limiting the available options.
There is no visible interface or option to configure the increment directly within the action settings, which might be causing the issue.
I would appreciate any guidance or support you can provide to help resolve this issue. Specifically, I need assistance on how to correctly configure the button to ensure continuous incrementing of the counter value with each click.
Thank you for your assistance!
Best regards,
Clarissa

You must use the increment action instead.

Increment action is available on free plan.
