Hi, I am using a **Table Component** to display data, and I have applied **two filters** so the user only sees the relevant records. I have also attached an image showing the filters applied. Now, I want to **update a boolean field for all the filtered records with a single button click**. However, when I try using a **manual workflow with a loop** , I am unable to apply the same user filters in the workflow, which is causing difficulty. ### My Requirement: - The manager needs to **approve** the records. - Once approved, the boolean value should change to **true**. - After approval, the record should no longer appear in the list. ### Issue: I cannot figure out how to update all the filtered results at once through a button because filters are not available inside the workflow loop. If anyone has a solution or workaround, please guide me ---

Is the boolean column User Specific? If yes, then it is not possible to bulk update. ---

No it is not a user specific column. ![Screenshot 2025-12-09 112914](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/d/0dee2e99fc3c3a8923c5e628fab3c3cdaa8913f1.png) ![Screenshot 2025-12-09 112951](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/3/73858f8400a1b4e364367f7a688322a7c01e80ec.png) I forgot to attach this image in my previous message. This is what I’m currently doing — if you have an alternative approach, I’m open to suggestions. ---

Don’t use collection’s filters, create custom filters and collect Row IDs to process and send this joined list of Row IDs to wokflow and loop it. > [@Custom Filtering with Data Editor logic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/custom-filtering-with-data-editor-logic/82271): > > A year or so ago I created a video to demonstrate some techniques for filtering collections and charts using pure data editor logic.

Are you suggesting that I add a custom filter so the user can filter their own data? I’m not fully understanding what you mean—could you please explain the flow step by step? ---

Yes add custom filters to give users ability to filter data and you can collect filtered Row IDs. On clicking just send joined list of user filters results to flow and loop on it.
