Creating rows for a set of tags

Ask for Help
1

Hello everyone

My situation
Currently, a user can create a Meeting using a form screen.
On Submit - some default fields are filled.

Now, I need a user to be able to enter a list of tags
So I added a text field to the input form.
Next, I use split to create a column with Meeting_Interests tags

What I need now is to add these tags to a dedicated Interest table.

How can I do that ?

Second part of the question, linked to the split type
How to show Inerest tags on Meeting detailed screen?
If I use table - it does not show all the tags, just one line

Thank you

Can you show an example of this?

Easiest way in my opinion is using a custom component, tell it to display the input - a comma-delimited string, in a tags/pills format.

Continuing the discussion from Creating rows for a set of tags:

Thank you for reply:

This is exactly what I do (Ai recommended it too :slight_smile:

A collection linked to This Item Interests_Text comma delimited field

Here you can see that the table does not show all the tags.
You can see them when I display in a mere text format.

Two other points with this solution

  • The design is slightly different too.
  • the tags in this display will not be operational on click (to add an action). Right?
    Its OK for a prototype but not good for a final product.

Hence the question - what are the alternatives?

What kind of component are you using here? Is it the custom component we talked about above?

With a custom component, theoretically you can do it, you just have to prompt it very specifically.

Hello

I am using Table as shown on the screenshot above.

What is the standard way to display tags in Glide?

UPD I dived deeper with the help of ChatGPT.
My understanding is that currently there is no way to display all tag bubbles “as a tag cloud” on few lines.
A solution - one per line makes the interface overloaded and not compact.

May be this would be a great feature for next Glide version - a simple and built-in tag support?

UPD 2
I think I found the best possible solution :innocent:

This will fix well the work with tags
But an option to Wrap the content of data cell in Tables - will be useful

Thank you

Oh, so that’s a table with a single column? That’s an interesting way to approach it.

There’s no standard way to do it, it isn’t a component on its own.

There’s a “Custom Component” type of component that you can feed your list in and tell it to display as tags. That’s the easiest way to do it if your prompt is correct.

No.

The tags (interests) are entered as a comma-separated text field, to make it easy for user

At this MVP stage all I wanted is to display them in a form of tags.
Glide AI assistant said the only way to display them as a tag is by using Table component with tag option.
But this component can display only one line of data. Hence my initial question arose.

I think having Tags as a built-in solution would be of a great added value for Glide community, seeing that this question comes back regularly

I think it’s been mentioned a couple of times now that you can just use a Custom AI component to do this. Tell it that you will give it a comma delimited list of values and that you want it to display the values as tags or bubbles. Then point the component to the column with the comma delimited list. That should be it. If you want the tags to be interactive, then specify that you want the tags to call an action when clicked.
