Daily Glide Tip – Power Up with “Set Columns” in Actions
Need to update multiple values without showing a form? Set Columns is your go-to.
Unlike forms, it updates data instantly—ideal for toggles, quick edits, or background logic.
Example:
You have a “Mark as Done” button in a task list. Instead of navigating to an Edit screen:
Add a custom action → choose Set Columns
Set Status = Done, Completed Date = Now, Done By = Current User
That’s it—no extra screen, no user effort.
Combine with conditions for next-level workflows.
Reduces clicks, boosts UX.
Pro tip: Works perfectly with visibility rules to hide/show buttons based on values.
