Hey guys, - we have todos as checklist created from a separate table “todos” - each row links to a separate new screen/subpage linked to the user table because user will enter some data on the subpage - default values in the checklist are unchecked - if user enters and saves data on the new screen/subpage, the value in the list item should be checked. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/7/c7ef756609a57f7286e63104b4548cef613ed79c.png) How to link this logic between the user and the todos table? ---

the checkmark value is on that table… all you have to do is to add a custom action to mark that value as true when saving data ---

I bet you probably want something like this: That is a list of things done differentiated by user; it is an another approach that does not involve the use of the checklist style, but simulates it. If I guessed it, if you need clarification let me know. Ciao ---

Hey @Roldy. Thanks for the helpful video tutorial. Before starting the implementation I have one more question: How can I enable different detail views for the todos? I chose the inline component - action “show new screens” doesn´t enable different views - action “detail screen” with indepedant screen configuration enables different views but no possibility to store data from the subviews to the user table ---

> [@Martina\_G](#): > > action “detail screen” with indepedant screen configuration enables different views This is the right way to make independent detail screens 👆 > [@Martina\_G](#): > > but no possibility to store data from the subviews to the user table Why? Just be able to make sure that the data you need is available on the screen; this is usually done with relation + lookup columns, or with single value columns. If you let me explain the practical case I’ll explain how to achieve the result. ---

Hey @Roldy, this is the use case: ToDo List with three todos for the user in order to set up user´s portfolio. ToDo 1 = Add asset class 1 ToDo 2= Add asset class 2 ToDo 3= Choose risk type and so on… Assets from class 1 and 2 should be stored in the user in order to do a parent calculation. ---

Ok…, if I understand correctly: - To collect data (asset class 1, asset class 2, risk type) you should define USC columns in the “Todo Table”. - So, for Assets data class 1 and 2 we have in the “Todo Table” a single relation towards the users row, therefore we can write this data into the user row with a “set column action”. And _where_ we’ve to write for Todo3? ---

So I setup the Todo table according to your guidelines like this: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/d/fdcef1472412f853687c41cc5c6faf0c033f2632.png) Is this right? Can you elaborate how to write the data in the user table now? ---

Yes, I’ll do it in a little while. If your data structure is what I see here, you could also do it all in one screen by setting component visibility criteria. But I will continue on the path of the independent screens that you set up in this app, so as not to confuse you. That’s okay too don’t worry. ---

@Roldy you are the best! Thanks again for patience and support. The videos gave me a deeper understanding of glide and implementation was quite easy with that. 😄 ---
