Is there a way to allow users to ‘add’ a choice option to the list that already exists?

i have a sheet of ‘categories’ in my case. which is a choice screen, but not sure how to allow users to create an additional category or choice option

Yes, that’s possible. Something like this:

  • Include an ‘Other’ option in your choice list
  • If a user selects ‘Other’, have that trigger a visibility condition that exposes a text input component
  • Make sure the text input is targeted at the same column as your choice component (Glide will warn you about that, but in this case it’s okay)
  • When the user submits, check if the value added already exists in your choice list. If it doesn’t, include an action that adds it as a new row.
