I replaced the users table from the Glide table with a SQL table. and now the “set column value” is not working Do you think it was worth changing the user table to SQL table? ---

yes, I already read this, but I was so hoping there would be a workaround ) this means I still have to return to the glide table ---

I doubt there is any workaround. The Users table has some special properties in a Glide context. I could imagine that getting it to work as a SQL source table could require some fancy engineering on the Glide side.
