Hey Guys,
I have a strange requirement where I will have a data entered where there is name, Description , Owner etc
Owner is going to be a choice component which will allow multiple entry.
When there are more than 1 owner selected lets say for example if there are 2 owners selected
it should create 2 rows with same Name and Description but 2 owners.
Is there a way to automate this?
What logic can I use to make this happen using actions?
Regards,
Dilip

Is there a fixed maximum number of owner selections that can be made?

Hi Darren,
No it can vary and there is no Max limit.
For time being I would assume it to be about 25? but this can increase quickly.
I want to make it easier for my team to input values by allowing them to create single records and assign many people.
But for my other front end I need to show individual records for each person assigned.
Regards,
Dilip

Okay, so in that case your only option is to use the API.
You will need to use a custom form, and you could probably use a JavaScript column to prepare the required number of `add-row-to-table` mutations, and then pass that to the Glide API. Either directly using a Call API action, or via Make with a Trigger Webhook action.

I haven’t used Glide Api or custom form. Let me try and read more on it.
Just found your post for custom forms

> I’m just dropping this here so I have something to refer people to when they ask. 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](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/user-specific-columns) and [Relations](https://docs.glideapps.com/all/reference/data-editor/computed-columns/relation-column) Enforcing mandatory input items The use of visibility conditions and user specific booleans to control user flow There is nothing particular…

Yes, that is a very old post, but the general technique hasn’t really changed.
I’d suggest also looking for some video tutorials on using the Glide API.
Bob Petitto has a few.

I checked it Darren,
I wanted to know if there was a way to do it without any external 3rd party like make
I saw zapier cant be used for this approach.
So I guess I wont be able to do it unless I use a 3rdparty.

If you have a Business Plan, you can use the Call API action.

I have team plan currently. However I am thinking ill give a duplicate button
which will duplicate the entry in the same table. Then ask them to change owner.
Hopefully this will work.

Dilip
