Field Component Not Displaying Values from "If-Then-Else" Column

I’m experiencing an issue in Glide where values are present in my database, but they don’t appear when I try to display a specific “If-Then-Else” column in a field component on the app.

Here’s what I’ve checked so far:

  1. Column Data Type: The column I’m trying to display is an “If-Then-Else” column, and I’ve confirmed that the conditions are set up correctly. The expected values (e.g., true/false or text values) are visible in the Data Editor.
  2. App Reload & Data Refresh: I’ve tried reloading the app and refreshing the data in the Data Editor.
  3. Component Settings: I’ve made sure the field component is pointing to the correct column and table, and that there are no visibility settings accidentally hiding it.
  4. Testing with Other Components: I tested displaying the same “If-Then-Else” column in other components (like a Text component), but the data still doesn’t show up.

Despite these steps, the field component remains blank, as though the data doesn’t exist. Has anyone else encountered this issue with “If-Then-Else” columns, or are there additional troubleshooting steps I could try?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Do you have row owners/roles and building the screen on top of the correct row?

Yes, the row owners are configured correctly. I’ve verified that the row ownership settings match the intended access controls, and the appropriate roles and users have access to the relevant rows.

Can we see a screen shot of the offending if-then-else column please?


The “judge” column is an If-then-else column. The value should appear in the area marked with a red border, but it is not showing up.

It’s a little difficult to tell, but it does appear by the greyed out appearance that those rows are unowned by the user you are viewing as. An easy way to test that is to remove row owners and see it that changes anything.
