Hi. I need some help and will really appreciate support from seniors and glide experts.

I have two tables. One is a user table.

The other contains two columns. Item name and Favorite status (boolean) which is a user specific column. The use case is the user logs in to the app, and adds the items they like to their favorites.

What I want to get is in the user table, against the name of the user, it should show a list of items that the person has favorited. So the output that I want is like this:

User 1 - Apples, Bananas, Oranges  
User 2 - Apples  
User 3 - Oranges, Pineapples

I have gone through some posts but unable to find a way to do this. Please assist!

You would need to use an action that does two things:

- Set column values on the boolean
- Set column values on the column in the user profile row, adding the selected item to the list.

Search the forum for Trebuchet method, you can use that.

Thanks you so much. I was able to implement this. One quick question. Because I’m using solely Glide native tables and using these actions (set column values, etc.), would they be consuming updates? If no, I think I have done possibly the best thing that I could have done at work this whole year 🙂

It depends which plan you have.  
If you have any sort of legacy plan, then yes they would count as updates.  
Otherwise, no.

Annual Maker plan started in Aug 2024. It had only one published app then.

Okay, so that would be a legacy plan, but thinking more about it I’m not sure if updates on native tables would be counted or not. You can test it easily enough - just make some updates and check your usage counter before and after,
