Hi! I am fairly new, only using Glide for around a week. I want to use a text box to enter a specific code into only one cell. Is there a way to do this? I couldn’t find a great answer online. Thanks! ---

At the most basic level: - Add a Collection component to a screen, and set the source as the table that you want to edit. - Navigate through the Collection to identify the row you want to edit. - Click on that Collection item. This will take you to the Details screen for that row - Add a Text Entry box and target it at the column you want to edit. The above is most likely not exactly what you want, but it should get you started. ---

Also please beware of security implications. Are you trying to lock a screen from being viewed/edited until the right code is entered?
