There is no such thing. There are Relation column types, but they are created in the Data Editor. > [@Kareem\_Arafa](#): > > The Table **Settings/Properties** (to disable Row Owners) are not visible. Again, no such thing. Row Owners are applied to individual columns via the Data Editor. Note that not all column types support Row Owners, so if you don’t see the option that is most likely the reason. > [@Kareem\_Arafa](#): > > The **Text Entry** component does not have a “List of allowed values” option. Again, no such option. Where did you see this? ---

“Hello again, in addition to the previous issues, I have also discovered that I am missing basic ‘Special Value’ columns. When I search for ‘Created Time’ or ‘Created By’ when creating a new column, there are no results. It seems my account is missing several fundamental features. Can you please investigate?” ![unnamed](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/9/596506e12a522478cf1f1e9f976424c31d8ab58e.png) ---

You don’t set Special Values when configuring a column. Those are added via an Add form or Edit form, or you can use them with the Add Row or Set Column actions. I’m not sure where you are getting your information, but I suggest spending some time with the Documentation and Glide University to learn how Glide works. > **[Glide Docs](https://www.glideapps.com/docs)** > > Welcome to Glide Docs, a steadily growing collection of articles and videos on how to use Glide.
