Hi, I’m creating a multi-entry form. Each container has a button and the problem is that as soon as I add an action to the button like ‘Set column values’, the button disappears. It then reappears as soon as I change the action to ‘Show notification’. I’ve set up multiple containers as steps and the steps/containers are only visible if the step number in the data column changes. This is the reason why the need for the action to ‘Set column changes’ when selected. ![Screenshot 2024-02-20 at 18.23.19](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/9/6935a2229a1ba42ef6de97514e55a4b98d8bf158.png) ![Screenshot 2024-02-20 at 18.23.30](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/3/8331006010d6d4b206e4ac27c317ec8bc96d1c96.png) ---

Does the source table have any rows in it? ---

No, just the columns. Do I need to add a row? ---

Yes, you need at least one row, otherwise your Set Column Values actions have nowhere to write values to (which is why the button disappears). I’d recommend adding a RowID column. This will automatically add a single row with empty values in all other columns. ---

Thanks Darren, much appreciated. I have added the row-id in the source data. I have also removed the original button, added another and it is still doing the same thing, it disappears as soon as I change the action. ![Screenshot 2024-02-20 at 19.07.29](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/b/fb86178bbbe40073818ca3901d8c44eb2bdbc6fb.jpeg) ---

Looks like you have Row Owners applied to that Name column. You need to remove that. ---

I see you’re using “anyone” as the signin user. What if it’s changed to a different user, would this still happen? ---

Spot on, I removed the Row Owners and it’s working now. Thank you so much! ---

The row owners worked, but I’ll also check out the user selection when I add them later. Thank you
