You would need to use a custom form for that. > [@How do I create a custom form?](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-do-i-create-a-custom-form/25014): > > I’m just dropping this here so I have something to refer people to when they ask. 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… If it’s just a date and not including the time, you can: - Convert the chosen date to numerical value (say have a math column to convert it to MMDDYYYY). - Do the same process in the table where you store existing reservations. - Create a relation from the chosen date’s numerical value to the existing reservation dates’ numerical values. - If the relation is not empty, then don’t allow them to add a row. The process is much trickier when you add the time in, with periods of time. --- _[View the full topic](https://community.glideapps.com/t/how-to-add-rules-conditions-to-adding-table/49383)._
