On my users table the first column is “Role” which determines what the user can see. When I use a new form to add a row to users everything adds correctly. When a different user adds someone the “Role” column will show them what they put in but on my end it is blank. Its not a user specific column…

Users cannot set Roles that they do not have.

You can only help users setting it using an external service like Make.com or Zapier, as far as I aware.

Maybe with the new api column?? :thinking: …that would be sporty

If it’s available through the API, then that should absolutely work.

You can use the new Call API action, as long as you have a Pro Team plan or better. Essentially you would have an onSubmit action that sends an API Call to your own App, with a set-columns-in-row mutation that sets the role in the affected row.
