So, I have several screens inside my app which can be edited by users of a certain role.  
 ![question-time-stamp](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/5/6/567dc81d6edbddc6b1b5a1e1ddd301ddfe8cc5b6.gif)  
Currently, this is how I am handling the submission:  
 ![current-scheme](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/b/bbd933832d6408a92131c8b67123b904f75c0e41.gif)  
Now my problem is A) when submitting new data, the row with Timestamp seems to be pushed down and will not display in my details view when updated. I am assuming that the data being displayed is from the first instance of that associated row, not the most recent.  
B) I am wondering if it might be better to add a choice component which gives a choice of VIEW DATA / EDIT DATA (allowing edits to happen on the details screen itself with a button for incrementing the progress, but I am not sure if this is the best route.  
C) Finally, I am trying to increment the progress of the screen by +5 when the items are fully filled in, but I cannot seem to figure out how to do this with set columns. I created an action which updates the column + increments the progress, but when I apply it, it overwrites all of my data to go back to having no answer.

Any help would be much appreciated!

What’s the sort option you are using for your list? What’s your actual use case using a set column on the submission (of an edit screen?).
