Hi

I just asked a question about updates that was solved, but have a similar question to help me understand them better.

I have an inline list that is filtered by a choice column. Each time a user taps one of the choices, it will count as an update? The inline list doesn’t change, it’s just being filtered. The update is the user-specific cell being edited. Is this correct?

I’m trying to get users to switch to a pay-as-you-go plan so they don’t have to worry about updates but if the app can be optimised to reduce them then I think it’s worth doing.

The bot’s answer seems on point this time. I feel like I already knew the answer but wonder if this type of filtering, where the list isn’t actually being edited, should count as an update?

Yes, if data is being updated in a table, Including if you are just using it for a filter, then it will still count as an update because data is changing. That’s how it is now.

The topic of that has been talked about quite a bit. If you have thoughts, you can share them here.

> I’ve always thought that it’s really useful how user specific columns only store values locally and for the duration of your session while you are not signed in. This allows for those column values to “reset” after you close the app, and the data does not need to be sent and synchronized with glide servers. However, once you sign in, then those values are sent to, and stored, on Glide’s servers. I think a new Session column type could be really useful. It would work just like user specific c…
