SEE 3min VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEnqWaJ_lio Issue 1: When 1 open instance selects a filter setting, it’s forcing itself upon ALL other open instances. Bug? Issue 2: Using multi-choice for multi-inline list filtering is WRITING to columns. I don’t want it to write. I want it to filt…

You need to use user specific columns if you don’t want the choice to affect all users. The choice component needs a column to write to. That’s how it’s designed to work. You shouldn’t write it back to the source of the choices. It should have it’s own column.

Thanks Jeff 1: Does making a column user specific require user accounts? This is a public app, no accounts. Requiring user accounts would be UX suicide. Say this ain’t so! 2: Which setting directs where the multi-choice component writes? Can I just bypass by throwing it in a dump column?

No, user specific columns don’t require user accounts. If a user is signed in, it will save the value for that user and display across all instances, but only for that user. Each user has a unique experience. If a user is not signed in, then the selection will be cleared the next time they open…

@Jeff_Hager You solved it. Thank you so much! I’m going to make a video tomorrow of what changed. I’ve really struggled to grasp Glide filters. So hopefully a video in this thread can help filters “click” for other newbs.

@Jeff_Hager One more Q: By setting column to user specific, Glide forced row identification. The data used will be dynamic. IE: The number of rows will constantly increase and decrease. These row identifiers will adjust automatically, correct? When a new row is added, a new ID is created. And whe…

Yes. Row ID’s are automatic. New Row ID’s generate automatically and become just another column value in your sheet/table. When you delete a row, the Row ID is deleted as well. Glide Tables technically always have them built in regardless if the column is visible or not, but Google Sheets need t…

Nice video :+1: Your next assignment is to do the same thing with a single Inline List, with zero filters and zero visibility conditions :wink:
