Try changing that column to a number column. You’re having a text column.

Strange. Can you try creating another column and try it on that column?

I even tried to ‘set column’ using actions, still it wont populate with any value. Also i noticed when i create the new button, when i switch between data sheet view and layout view, all floating buttons disappear, i have to swap to another tab and back to get them back.

Can you try create a new column with NUMBER format right from the start? I’m not sure if the text format at first is the issue.

@ThinhDinh that’s a good idea
@Amal I have a increment button in place and confirm I have just tested it (it’s a number column) and it works as expected so doesn’t appear to be a bug but maybe the way you have it set up.

Do you have any filters on a tab level of that chat tab? Or do you have any row owners in place?

Hi @ThinhDinh and @Rosewebstudio
Can you try the same thing but using a relation to set a value to any column?
I can see that relation works fine but when the Set Column action try to use my relation (simple), the row is always the same and the value is written into the same row.
I think it is a bug but I want you to test it to confirm please.
In addition, I have that weird case that all floating buttons disappear sometimes 🙃
Thanks for the help, saludos!

So i managed to fix it, apparently user specific column wont work, useless you have at least 1 row line of data.

You should then use sigle values to populate first row
