Ah, so you’d like the user to first have a choice of, say, “Car Make”, and if they pick “Mercedes”, they can choose between the years 1960, 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018, but if they pick “VW”, the years they can choose between are 1960, 2000, 2010, 2011, and 2012?

I see, thank you!

That is true. The choice one make at every stage will dictate the options the user is presented with at the subsequent stages. For an example, one could choose iPhone 6 that has only two colors (white & black) while if the user chooses iPhone 6 plus can choose from three different colors (white, Rose Gold & black) …etc…

For now, and to build off of @Rosewebstudio’s response, my only thought is to use a form button to submit to a new sheet, then use a formula in your display sheet to count the number of responses. I think eventually we will get a one click button, but for now it would have to be a form button.

Ability to overlay and customize captions to the pictures depending on column values…ie…out of stock…reduced price…new !..last day…etc

@Gerard_Fernandez are you thinking something more customizable than the Title component?

Wouldn’t it be enough to be able to count the number of rows in the response sheet for that purpose?

Y.E.S., and it’s even a must!

I think people are looking for a single button press to increment a value instead of using a form button to go to a separate screen to submit. However, if a button could submit additional data behind the scenes, like column values or special values (without displaying a separate screen), then I suppose that counting response rows method would be sufficient as the user would also have the response sheet with useful data for stats or counts.

This leads me to think of additional column types in the data tab.

  1. Something that functions like a Lookup column against a relation. I’m thinking a Stats column where you could choose between Count, Sum, Avg, Max, Min etc.
  2. More of a modification to a single relation, but the ability to return the last match in a relation instead of the first match like it does now. (based on sheet order)

We might have something coming soon for 1 :wink:

  • Option for button only to edit a Notes component. Currently it shows a snippet of the content of the note and an “Edit note” button.

Reason I’d like this is Notes are currently a two step process to edit.i.e. Open the edit screen, click on Edit note. All other components you click in them on the edit screen and start editing.

In my app, I want to be able to display the note in rich text, but access editing the note directly from the Detail screen.

Currently, I’ve got an Edit Note component, which works, but is not stylish. Thus I’d prefer here just the button.

As you can see in this image, it’s only the note I need to regularly update so set up this method for quick access. Now just want it tidier! Something like this:

And no, you can’t do this with a Form button as it also goes to a screen where you first have to place the Edit Note component, thus still two steps.

  • multi-word search. It appears when I search, it searches for the whole string. So if I type “museum sydney” it will look for that specific string, whereas I want it to look for rows with those two words in them.

I would also add as a added value feature : embedded markdown editor / or wisiwig editor limited to markdown tags allowed in Glide.

That would really really help having end users entering bold, italic or underline text, bullets points and h1/h2/… strings.

Today, it’s a nightmare for end users with no technical or html knowledge.

That would really help, but not sure if achievable.

If not possible to embed such an editor is text entry component, maybe provide a link to such an editor allowing to copy formatted text respecting the Glide Markdown rules?

Second wish : a way to format text in text component (justify, center, left, right). Today I have to use fake inline list (1 item only) with tiles layout to have a centered text, and I set the (no) image size to 3:1, but it’s still too big and not really good from a UI point of view :
