Hello, everyone!

I need your help!

I would like to create a screen in which there is only one button and when I click on that button, several different texts (from a Glide table) are shown at each click in random order below the button.

How do I do that? Can you help me with the step by step, please?

Thanks in advance!

You can use the shuffle action on the button to show random data every time the button is triggered!

I’ve even selected this shuffle option but I can’t connect this function to the table with the texts so that they appear when I click. Do you know how to do that?

Here’s a simplified approach. You can adapt it to your use case.
