Hi Glide team, @Mark @Jason

I created several columns for emails one next to the other with the header “created by 1”…“Created by 2”… until 4.  
when I’m trying to set the filter for a choiche component to created by is signed in user I don’t get an array column of created by to set to all of them togethr:

all the columns are set as email in the glide table and I even created fake row that is full with emails

only problem is that glide is recognizing the split column as mail and I can’t change the the difintion as it’s split column

Ahh, good point. I guess it’s not a perfect solution then. Might have to achieve that using a separate sheet that lists beach email in rows, then pull it in through a multiple relation/lookup to retain the email type. Or wait for Glide to build array functionality into glide tables.

I think you can achieve this by filtering template column contains signed-in user’s email.

One thing I did today was create a joined column of all users from my user profile sheet. Then I can use that column along with filters for “is included in” or “isn’t included in” to filter out (or in) a particular user.

I need to get used to using “is included in” or “isn’t included in”.

I only play in the tables now, trying to built an app I already built in glide based on GS for management of working hours in glide tables only using glide’s functionality only.

I chose this app as it has crazy complex using if calculating gap between dates and wanted to see how everything work with glide’s new math dates
