Thanks to all the below, and to Glide for making a genius product and @JackVaughan for brilliant videos.

Using QuickChart to display historical training data (inspired by @Robert_Petitto):

Using QuickChart to put charts into the image field of a list for added insight into the item:

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 and Relations Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particula…
