Hello, I am trying to create a simple app where you can make decisions on items. In my main database, I have a screen that displays a comprehensive list of items. I would like to enable users to make decisions about these items by selecting either “approve” or “decline” through the press of a button. Then, I would like the entire item, not just a single row, to be transferred to a new screen and a separate database called “Declined”. Any idea on how to do that? Thanks in advance! ---

Is it actually necessary to move the items to another table, or could you just set a status column and then use that as a filter? ---

I guess it isn’t necessary, but it would be very helpful as I have separate actions connected to separate screens and I don’t know how many new problems a whole new configuration can present. ---

mmm, okay. Just one thing I find a little confusing… > [@bjorn421458](#): > > Then, I would like the entire item, not just a single row, Normally an “entire” item would be encapsulated in a single row. That’s kind of how Glide works - one item per row. Can you explain a little more how you define an entire item in this context? ---

Sure! I understand that, but when I set an action as “add row” to another screen/database, it only gives me the option of adding one of the columns in the row. ![Screenshot 2023-07-10 173154](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/3/13840c134678d72f799ddad9f50df8b6be34d75d.png) Here for example, I can only add “Company Name:”, and not the other attributes. If I try to add one for each attribute, I’ll just get multiple items in the new screen, when I just want to take the same “item” (represented in a row in the database) into the other screen. ---

Does your other table have enough columns to hold all of the values from the original table? Looks like your new table only has a Name column. You need to add the necessary columns in that table first. ---

Thanks! Somehow didn’t think of it! ---
