I think I would do this with a custom form.

This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using [User Specific Columns](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/user-specific-columns) and [Relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particula…

- Use an entry to fill the “first week” column.

- Create 3 math columns called “2nd week”, “3rd week”, “4th week”.

2nd week formula: “First week” + 7  
3rd week formula: “First week” + 14  
4th week formula: “First week” + 21

- Add a switch pointing to a boolean column to store the “Repeat event for 4 weeks” value.

Then on the Submit button, have 2 branches.

If “Repeat event for 4 weeks” is checked \> Use 4 add row actions to iteratively add 4 rows with the corresponding “First week”, “Second week” and so on.

If the column above is not checked \> Just add 1 row with the “First week” value.
