I am creating a simple fortune teller app. I have a users sheet in which I store name, and then a random number which is used to lookup from another sheet from a set of messages in order to show a random message as fortune. It works perfectly fine for me, But, now when I want to make it a public ap…

[image] vijay: i tried to create a user-specific column, but it doesnt allow a look up column. Can you clarify more on this part?

I have a Users sheet in which i have a column named Fortune Id. The fortune ID is a lookup column which randomly takes a value from another sheet which has one column with number from 1 to 300 and another column with fortune messages.

Hi Robert, may I know which section in the video has the mention of Reshuffle? I think Random value generation happens only in reloading of app, though during creating the app, it happens during every interaction which is strange. To create Reshuffle action, I will need to change the screen to the…

I believe it’s around minute 14:00

I have made it into a public by email app, since public app wouldnt hold computed data as user-specific. I have also used Reshuffle action, though I havent fully grasped how to use it. I dont know how the action is linked to an inline list. I just added two inline lists onto a screen, and then sor…
