Is there any way to do a count of comments? The App: Comments sheet doesn’t show up in the editor, but I guess a copy of that sheet could be created and used to count comments.

Has anyone done this another way?

I have. You can actually, simply, create a new pivot table in your spreadsheet to count comments by email address. I do this in the itemstore app to award points (count\*multiplier+balance=new balance). It’s actually the only XP calculation in my app that requires the use of a spreadsheet formula.

I’m thinking more of counting comments by topic so that I can display a tag on a card list that shows how many comments a certain topic has. I think I can still accomplish this using your method. I’ll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks

Yeah, you can…just include the UUID as part of the table.
