I have an app that is public, no sign-in required (or wanted). I have a number-entry component, where the column it writes to is user-specific (so that all users don’t see when one user is entering a number).
I tried to do the same with a choice component, make that data column user-specific too. But when I do, there are no values to choose from in the drop-down list. Is there a way to also make this user-specific, so that the same choice doesn’t appear for all users?

Maybe this is what I’m experiencing too? What is your source? Mine is an airtable.
I submitted a ticket already.

Just a Glide table. I just need a user to be able to select from a choice component without that choice showing to other users who are on the same screen at the same time.

Are you making the _source_ column User Specific, or the _target_ column?
The target column _should_ be User Specific.
The source column _should not_ be User Specific.
If you have the source column User Specific, that would explain the behaviour that you see.

Hi @PBOWER,
If i understand your problem, i create a user’s list with diferents numbers for all. Then, a specific column to number entry with choice component. Finally, i use a filter…
Something like that
