Hello, is it possible to Change boolean label?

I use a boolean to mark if I sent to email or not

In google sheets as a checkbox

in the app as a switch button

In the filter, it shows me true or false, I want to change the text to “Sent” “No sent”.

Is it possible?

I prefer to use the switch button anyway.

I add a Photo to explain it better.

Thx!

Yep. Use an if/then column as a go between. If true: “sent”, else “not sent”.

Hello Robet,

Thanks for the info!

Do I need to add a new column in google sheet or I can do it in the same column (the checkbox column)?

I recommend creating the if/then in Glide. Go to the data editor, create a new ifthen column. If (Boolean) is true then (enter value): sent , else (enter value): not sent. Then display this if then rather than the Boolean in the app.
