Possibility to increase values form others tables in compounded actions. Same as set column when using simple relations but with increment action. ---

Set Column and Increment are two separate actions. I think what you mean is _Increment via a Single Relation_, yes? Yes, I agree this would be a useful feature. Although there are current workarounds for this. eg. Use a Lookup to retrieve the current value, then a math column to calculate the incremented value, and finally a Set Columns to effect the “increment” using the math column value. ---

I’ve asked for this too! ---

Yes ! But while doing the workaround another instance can enter in-between and give a false result. Direct increment would be super! ---

+1 If you are still looking for a workaround you could use an integromat scenario and increment a set variable module by 1 every run ---

I’ve found that math+set column via relation is the quickest workaround, but it’s a few extra unneeded columns and not intuitive. ---
