Can't use increment on field that I can set a value directly to

I have setup 2 buttons that set the same column with different data. One button that sets the value directly with the current week num works fine.
The other button uses increment to -1 from the value - but it will not let me choose the same column.
Any idea why this is the case?

This works fine:

This won’t save the chosen column (Week Num/Chosen):

Check the column type for Week Num/Chosen… is it a number?

To workaround you could use a math column… value - 1… and set the math column result instead of an increment.

THanks Eric. It is a number (you can see that in the bottom screenshot). The really odd thing is that the same logic works elsewhere. I will resort to the math approach if needed… but does seem like a bug to me :slight_smile:

Can you explain what you mean by this? Do you mean that when you select the Chosen column, it does not register that you have selected it? Have you tried clearing browser cache or try a different browser?

I just tested and think I know what you mean … it doesn’t work to increment through single value → whole row… or single relations :thinking:

Yeah… it doesn’t register as being selected (even though it is availabe to be selected).

I got around it by creating an additional screen (overlay) that then has the functionality I need… by associating that screen with the related settings value. But yeah, I would consider this a bug??

Ya I think you’re right… and may have been that way for a while. Looking at some of my apps when increment is used I planned around it being available for ‘this item’.

Maybe a few others could confirm :wink:
