Component updates are global as opposed to being specific for each entry

I’m sure there is a simple answer to this but since I’m new I have to ask. I am using the tile for a recipe app. It’s pretty basic. Images with the title on the front screen, click on each to open details with Image, Ingredients, and Cooking Instructions. My spreadsheet has 4 columns: Title, Ingredients, Recipe, Image location.

This issue I am having is when clicking on the desired recipes, the same image appears for each as well as the link to the recipe source. When I update the components, it’s global as opposed to specific to each recipe. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Can we have some more screenshots of your settings? I don’t think there would be an issue with this if you’re using a tiles layout.

Sure. All images from the main page are pulled from URLs on the source sheet.

However, when I click inside each recipe and use the components panel whatever image or bottom of page links I set are used for all recipes. It must be something I’m doing incorrectly, but I can’t figure it out.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Inside each details view, whatever you set will make the change applied to every row.

If you want different elements for each screen, you can either:

  • Set different components and set the right visibility conditions
  • Use the option to have different configurations for each row, in the top level tab.

Thank you. I will get that a try!

Can you show the settings of the title components? Are you manually setting the image as a custom value inside the component or are you pulling from the image column in the sheet? Are you saying that your image above does not correspond with the image url you have placed in the sheet for that recipe?

Hello. Yes, the front page images are being pulled from the spreadsheet. However, I am manually setting the component’s image. When I leave it blank, no image appears.

Why not point the image setting to the image column instead?

That works. I never looked below the first line referencing URL. Thank you!
