Hooray! It’s been in staging for the past week. Excited to see this. It’s going to make a huge difference in any gamification app. ---

@ThinhDinh Did you check if the same can be done even on a multiple relation or is it only for single relation? ---

Does anyone has a example - maybe in a demo app? ---

Example: push a button on one screen (sourced from a challenges sheet, let’s say) and then increment a player’s point total in the user’s sheet when completing that challenge. ---

Next it would be great if the increment action could be used across multiple columns, like set columns. I’m using multiple increment actions to take dynamic values from a set of user specific columns and adding them to an existing set of columns in another table with data coming from all the users. I can’t use set columns or rollups because of the row/column setup. ---

I have the same Luther’s question: can that relation be multiple?? Gracias ---

An answer for you is I don’t seem to have the ability to select a multiple relation in that action.
