Maker Plan: Glide is not saving data

Seems like Glide has a problem now with saving data.

I just refreshed my browser and the Emojis that are saved previously are now gone.

:smiling_face_with_tear:

Do you mean you have emojis saved in a basic column but now it’s gone? Are you using Google Sheets or Glide Tables?

Yes. I’m using Glide Tables. Same with Date & Time

That’s weird. Can you reproduce that behaviour in a video?

Sure will try again later today

Hi @ThinhDinh


Sorry not a video but this shows that Current Date / Time is not working consistently from Set Value action.

So the problem is the rows with missing data?

Can you explain how that data is being set?
For example, is it the result of a form submission?
If yes, are the values passed with the form, or set afterwards with an onSubmit action?


Yes it’s from Add form with custom action that happens on submit.
Current Date / Time is on Set column values.

Okay, that’s what I suspected.

This is quite common. The problem is that sometimes the Set Column values action will trigger before the new row has been created. When that happens, there is no row to update, and so the set column values action fails.

One approach to deal with this is to add a short wait condition before the set column values.

But, the best and recommended approach is to pass those values as special values with the form itself. Both the App Users email and the Current Date/time are special values that can be sent with any form.
