**You can now store arrays of text in a basic column.** This column type is particularly useful for assigning multiple roles to a user of your app. Give it a try and drop your suggestions in this thread. Thanks! šŸ™Œ **As a reminder, Preview features should not be used in Production apps.

I used this in one of my Apps just this week for allocating multiple roles per user, and it works perfectly. It was the last thing I needed to start decoupling Google Sheets altogether from some of my Apps šŸ™‚ ---

Iā€™m running into this error trying to display rows using multiple texts as row owners. List displays fine when not using multiple texts as row owners but displays this error when using it. ![Capture dā€™eĢcran, le 2025-04-24 aĢ€ 20.58.15](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/7/d7e86816544704a1b1acf4b4bd6c8b9cd53ef532.png) ---

@Mikaeldorval Moving your topic here for visibility (I generally do that for public preview features instead of keeping the bug topic). ---

Iā€™m not sure if this is actually supported. I know you can use Multiple Texts as the Role column, but Iā€™m not sure if it supports Row Owners. But either way, you shouldnā€™t be seeing that error message, so Iā€™d say thatā€™s definitely a bug. ---

Until now I had always stayed clear from assigning multiple roles to a user because it required Google Sheets. Now I can definitely start working with these multiple role columns in the data editor and a loop in the workflow editor šŸ™‚ ---

Thank you for this report! We will log this as something that is incompatible as of now. To @Darren_Murphyā€™s point, I would have the Users hold multiple roles and then have multiple separate columns as row owners ---

For some reason it doesnā€™t work when you set RowID as a Role. ---

Just double checkingā€¦ which column do you have set as the role in the User Profile general settings? Iā€™ve successfully set the RowID as role so Iā€™m wondering if there is a bug I donā€™t see or if there is something in your app that needs attention. ---

Maybe itā€™s working. Try adding a column with values in your second table to see the results. I notice in my table, the RowID column is not highlighted (or highlighted less?), even though the user has access. Other columns are highlighted though. ![North for Now 2025-05-15 at 13.29.37@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/0/40e517bac39b0cb8ebd19adb975cb135ca709b2f.png) ---

I have it a little different, I donā€™t use RowID rows, but use the Basic TEXT column ---

What happens if you place a dummy value (not Admin) in the column next to your RowID in the second table? ![North for Now 2025-05-15 at 13.37.35@2x](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/5/85d62dd36db979f4470a40a0276a262322ba0967.jpeg) ---
