[ Daily Score App · Glide - 20 March 2024 - Watch Video ](https://www.loom.com/share/fd2af2c2c4604e0186cb721060333ed9)[![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/4/241399a8f043cb74fc0efb281b5ea4cbbbde8bd1.gif)](https://www.loom.com/share/fd2af2c2c4604e0186cb721060333ed9) Basically, I’m creating an onboarding screen where the user enters their name. However, the page disappears as soon as I start to type - without even “Submit”, the data field has updated with a partial value. Please help! ---

I tried following your video, but it was a lot of clicking around. Here’s one way to set this up: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/0/a0199614732974c835d53eb293c398497dc0f1c5.jpeg "Glide 101: Setting Up User Profiles") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6z80m8p_3g) Feel free to skip to 14:00 ---

> [@MikeFox](#): > > page disappears as soon as I start to type - without even “Submit”, the data field has updated with a partial value. Without looking at your video, I’m guessing that you have a Tab visibility condition that is dependent on a User Profile column being empty. And because you’re using an input component outside a native form, as soon as you start typing the value is immediately written to the column, which invalidates the visibility condition, and so the tab disappears. If that’s the case, then one way to address it is to use an Edit Form. That way, the value won’t be written until the form is submitted. ---

I think you can also map the Name entry to a Temp Name column and upon submission, use a Set Column action to change the User Name with the Temp Name. This will allow you to still keep the visibility of “Show if User Name is empty”. ---
