I I’m working on a project where users navigate through different pages, and I want to provide a seamless experience by autofilling a filter dropdown with relevant options based on what the user has clicked on in the previous page.
I’m looking for a solution to temporarily store the data of what the user has clicked on so that I can access it in the next screen. I’m envisioning something similar to custom states in Bubble for those of you who are familiar. Is there a method or workaround to achieve this within the Glide platform? Any insights or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!"
use a filter data option. Here’s what i did to my E-commerce concept app.
-
create 2 table for Main Category and Sub-Category

-
In Sub-Category table, I have a list of Sub-categories and Main Category column
-
In Main Category Table, I have a list of main category column, as well as relation column to Sub-category table
-
in layout form, I put 2 choice component for Main category(source will be Main category table) & Sub-Category (Source is sub-category table), turning off component for 2nd category until Main category has been chosen.
-
Once Main category has been chosen by user, Sub-Category component will appear, this is where I use “Filter Data” option for this component where Main category (of Sub-category table) is the same as what User has chosen On-Screen in the 1st choice component. the 2nd choice component (Sub-category) only shows a list of categories based on Main category.



On the way to your “last” screen, you can use a set column action in tandem with your action to open the item to set a value to the User Profiles row.
Use those values accordingly in your choice component,
