Please is there a way to do one on one chat with anot her user instead of a global chat

Still getting used to Loom :grin: Hope this helps!

I think this may be the path forward. I attempted something like this, and wasn’t quiiite able to nail down the logic. Maybe with fresh eyes, tomorrow. On “is the relation Multiple?” - Not sure I follow, Jeff. I have a User 1 Relation and a User 2 Relation, and it seems I have both of those set to…

If you have the relation set to multiple, then the lookup will try to pull back multiple and you can’t use that value in a single value component. You need to change your relations to single, since I assume you would never have multiple matches anyway.

I believe Jeff’s answer is right. Glide won’t pull in the value of the username lookup if the relation is set to “multiple”. It sounds right that when you unchecked the box, it broke a few things. I’ve unfortunately had to rebuild a few times when I set the relation to multiple and later find I nee…

Thank you Lisa that makes sense :smile: :clap:

I don’t know why but I feel I have to make a little contribution to this thread again. I stayed away as much as I could from this thread knowing it was in safe hands, and it still is. But, please check concepts.glideapp.io . The solution to chat apps lies in concepts. It provides you with the buildin…

For your first question, do you have “Make row owner” set on your user profiles sheet?

Can I send information in a link to a specific screen
