I have a column whose values get reshuffled on entering into an inline list, and also gets reshuffled on coming out of an inline list. How can I detect that the values in the column has changed? In other words, how do I create a column that can detect if a value in another column has changed or not? …

What you could do is use CSS to hide the back button, and then add a custom back button to the Inline List details screen. When the user taps that button, you can have a multi-step action that checks the status, makes any necessary changes, and then finishes with a “Go Back” action. You can hide th…

Presumably you’re looking to detect the change in the Glide Table, and not in the Google sheet, yes? Also, I guess it’s safe to assume that these changes happen as a result of a user doing “something”. ie. tapping a button or similar? I could probably come up with a way to do it for a single row, …

Yes, change in the glide table. The change happens when user clicks on an item in an inline list which is linked to an action Reshuffle. It has to happen only in a single row. And going back from the inline list does the Reshuffle action again. Any other action can also be tried.

Okay, so just thinking out aloud here… What you could probably do is have a User Specific Column, and set the value in that column to be the same as the column you want to “watch”, just before the reshuffle action. Then have an if-then-else column that compares the values in the two columns. Someth…

Thanks for the idea. Here’s my use case which I am trying to use the above idea. Now, I feel it may not be possible with the above idea. I have an inline list. When user clicks on one item of the inline list, I have an action which sets the value in a Status Column to Online. When the user comes ou…

Awesome! Thank you much! CSS to hide the back button is a great idea.

Hi @Darren_Murphy , Long time… :slight_smile: Hope you’re doing well. [image] Darren_Murphy: hese changes happen as a result of a user doing “something” Well. my use case is actually not initiated by the user. The change is actually based on an API column. This API is tracking an official …

[image] Test_Test: Side note - this actually brings me to another question: are these API column updated on a time interval basis, without any trigger by the user or by the admin (myself)? As far as I aware those only update when a parameter in your URL is updated. I usually add a t=[current …

I don’t think I have a good answer for you on doing something based on API value changes. If you’re doing it in a Google Sheets then it might be doable through a script (GET request every X minutes, then if a certain value is not empty, update it to another column and send an email, for example). T…
