So I ran into a dilemma today where I needed my actions to set columns on another page. Now we know that works with add rows, but what I didn’t know and I haven’t seen it before is that if you create a relationship between sheets you can now set columns oh those sheets. Here’s a image of what I’m talking about.

I am able to use a glide sheet to set actions on a google sheet because of the relation and it works great. Now maybe this isn’t new, but I have yet to see it in any other of my projects and up until right now all I have ever seen is set column to show current row.

But nonetheless its a great feature, I am able to finish my game with this function.

That’s the same as this, yes?

> heart_eyesNot only can you use the new “Set Column” action to edit a value within your sheet via button press, but now you can manipulate values in OTHER SHEETS as long as there’s a relation! This is SUPER powerful. In my demonstration below, I take an inline list of four items and turn them into buttons that can be used to track habits in a DIFFERENT SHEET that’s associated to the currently signed in user!

About a month ago.  
But it’s an awesome feature, so it deserves a second post 😀

My brain was a bit fried after yesterday, so I’ve put it aside today and working on something else.  
But I think when I go back to it I’ll just split it into separate screens. It’s not worth the trouble of messing around with any further.

Understandable…I’m about to put this 2 player game up on the forums I think. Wanna give it a try?

Right @Drearystate but the problem is still the fact that any relation **must be** single and I don’t know the reason!!

The normal and old SQL clauses supports _UPDATE Multiple Records_ to carry out it and this is what we are needing from weeks ago.

What Glide is doing so far with Set Columns (using a Single relation) is something like a _SQL UPDATE Single Record_ and this ok but why we don’t go beyond and simplify many things to avoid Google scripts?.

Something like clear a shopping cart list or update an inventory (which have at least 10 items) using an unique/simple action through a **multiple relation** would be a smart/fast solution.

Saludos y feliz fin de semana!

did you find a way to set multiple rows that mach relation? without using scripts… i really need that to checkout items from the cart… when i use scripts i takes time to apply changes, and items are still in the cart… user can still click them because glide see them as available until script will affect glide

I solved this problem, and it works well without scripts… I’m celebrating this 4 hours struggle with lots of beer 😉

This is all very old. It would be best if you create a new topic for your problem. Please try to describe it as clearly as possible.
