Hello,  
I’m trying to build an app where you have different multiple choice option games/questions. my home screen, currently, has a button that is directed to the list of all the questions… but i would rather the “play” button go straight into a random game/question. Having a difficult time using the built in AI for assistance and couldnt find specific help in the community forums.

- Create a single value \> whole row column that targets your Games/Questions table. It will return a random row from that table.
- Add an action to your button that has a “Shuffle” action, followed by show details screen/show new screen of the single value column above.
