UPDATE:

Not sure if this is the “cleanest” way but I ended up using 3 columns:

1. Relation column which has multiple items
2. a single value column that that grabs a specific row from the relation column and a
3. counter column that I increment with an action so pressing it displays the desired item from the collection.

If anyone has the same need - glad to help.

Looking for the cleanest way to display n number of collection items as a multi-step click thru.

e.g. If I have 3 items in a collection, show just the first item, when next button clicked show just the second, etc.

I am thinking I need to reference the rowIds of the items in the collection and then filter on that. If that is the case I need a way to get the next rowId from the list so i can use that in the filter.

Knowing Glide, there is some super slick way to do this that I would never think of.

Thanks in advance for advice.
