Hi,

I’ve not used Glide for some time and last time I created and application I was recomended to use a data table for each form I had in my app and each column was user sepecific. Once the form was submitted a new row was created in my actual data table and the form row was deleted using a custom action.

I can’t remember the reason why this was important to do and before I launch into building something new I am wondering if I should have intermediary data tables or just have the form linked to the main table.

Thanks

This is a simple concept app (copyable), that demonstrates the following techniques: Building custom forms for adding and editing list items (as an alternative to the native forms provided by Glide) Preventing duplicate new entries using [User Specific Columns](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/user-specific-columns) and [Relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particular…

You’re possibly referring to the custom form, but I wonder what makes you need a custom form and not a normal form. Can you elaborate your use case?

Yes thats exactly it.

It’s quite a simple form for adding furniture items from websites into a users own library but there might be multiple people adding items at the same time so might this help to avoid duplicates?

If it’s just that reason then no, you can just use a normal form.
