Hi all
I’m working on implementing a plan creation feature in my app where a user can select pre-defined items from a list and see them in their newly created plan. Here’s a detailed walkthrough of what I’m trying to achieve and what I’ve set up so far:
Target flow…
- A user is on the ‘Plans’ section and clicks ‘Create plan’
- They enter a plan name and select items from a pre-defined list of ‘Items’, which includes image thumbnails for each item (so can’t use a checklist)
- Upon clicking ‘create’, the ‘Plans’ table is updated with a new row that stores these Items for that plan
- The user then returns to the ‘Plans’ section to see the newly created plan listed
- When they click on the plan name, it displays the list of items they selected
What I’ve done so far…
- Set up these tables: ‘Items’, ‘Plans’, ‘Plans-Working’
- Set up relations: Linked via user ID (templated versions of the Row ID in the users column)
- Actions:
- In the ‘Plans’ section, the title bar action ‘Create plan’ sets column values in ‘Plans-Working’ (clearing values to prepare for new entries) and shows a new screen based on this table
- In the new screen, an inline list of ‘Items’ from the ‘Items’ table allows item selection, with a custom action where if the Item is clicked it sets a boolean column ‘Selected’ in the ‘Items’ table to true for that Item
- Columns:
- A ‘selectedItemId’ column in ‘Items’ uses an if/then/else condition to hold the item ID when ‘Selected’ is true
- A Joined List in ‘Items’ combines these selectedItemIds
- And then I got stuck…
I feel like I’m over-complicating the setup haha. I realised I didn’t know how to convert a Joined List into an inline list of Items later for the user to view as part of a Plan.
Is there a more straightforward way to create ‘plans’ from a pre-defined list of items, and to be able to view these plans afterwards?
