Hi,

I’m stuck with the native Comments component.  
At this point ChatGPT + Glide AI agent + experimentation are not getting me further.

When I add a comment:

- the comment is correctly saved as a new row in the Comments table,
- but not words in the container comments, it just says it was added “just now”.

I have three separate Comments components on the same screen.  
Source - comments table.

What (tables, rows, columns, fitlers, sources….) should I check / add / remove…?  
I’m already pretty much confused and a bit frustrated.

I’d appreciate your support.

Thanks.  
Magda

The `just now` means you’re saving the timestamp correctly. If the message isn’t being displayed, then you might have configured the component incorrectly.

Check out this latest video of mine starting at 13:00 (start from scratch) or 15:20 (configure component).
