I will make a video of the next one for sure. The clearing on multiple pages did take about 25 seconds to perform all the clearing but I will not argue with it. It’s better than running scripts for OnEdits that sometimes work and sometimes dont.

I do have a quick question though, in the actions we can copy to clipboard why can we not paste from clipboard so we can carry those values over?

That should be an option. So if you copy you can navigate to another page and paste the value there.

I really wish I could share some of my Apps with you guys. The company I work for wont allow me to share anything. But I think it would help a lot of people if you guys could see some of these things I’m doing. I’ve made a few posts explaining some of my ideas but if I could make examples of these apps I think you guys would just be amazed.

I think I’m going to build out the messenger part of this app as a independent app and post it on here for people to use. It might be a few weeks though. But it is pretty damn amazing

Viewing pasted content would require your glideapp website to have the permission to ‘read and view’ everything in the clipboard. This would make users very suspicious.

What would happen if a user blocked access?

You don’t ask for access. Glide writes to the Google sheet. Nothing the end user owns

A quick question gliders I am confused about:

Is compound action ONLY user-specific? it can’t be non user-specific?

For example, I have two sheets, User Profile and Check In. If I click on a button named “DONE” in User Profile, I need this action to CLEAR VALUE (Uncheck) of the whole boolean column on glide table named DONE in another sheet (Check in). Would it be possible?

I tried it but only works with user-specific!

@Drearystate If you wanted to implement a ‘paste’ feature in your app, then that app would have to ask the user for permission to read/modify the clipboard. The user then would have two options: Accept or Block.

Am I understanding this correctly?
