📌 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.
