My app’s URL: [pritzkerhelpsout.glideapp.io](http://pritzkerhelpsout.glideapp.io)

I use email as the primary identifier for users. When a user posts a request the email appears fine, but when they edit the request the email turns into a series of letters and numbers (both on the screen and on the google sheet). See pictures below. Any advice on how to stop this from happening?

It looks like you have a Unique ID special value writing into the email column on your Edit screen.
