Conditions now have a new ‘screen’ context which lets you choose values from the current screen. This allows you to do things like:

  • Show items where Category is the same as Category (to show a list of items that relate to this one)
  • Show items where Price is equal to Price (to show a list of items which have the same price as the current item)

If you’re unsure of how to use this new context - this tutorial might be worth a watch → https://youtu.be/reeS28W0YXQ

Awesome! I gave a little demo here:

I’ve already used this feature twice in an app I’m developing. Nicely done Team Glide!

If you need to have an AND and an OR condition, use an if-then-else column first.

For example, let’s say you want to a list of events that can only be edited by the event owner OR any app Admin AND only if the event hasn’t happened.

Here’s how:

  1. Create an if-then-else column in the data table from where the component resides (let’s name this column “Editors”)
  2. Create your OR condition within this if-then-else column. For example, if you want where Admin is True OR where email is signed in user, then create two if-then-else conditions:
    1. if Admin column is True then “true”
    2. if Email is signed-in user then “true”
    3. else “false”
  3. In your component conditions, create your AND conditions. In the Details > Edit > Conditions, you can now create the AND/OR logic by stating Allow Editing where “Editors” is “true” AND where eventDate is after Today.

This is great @JackVaughan!

Will we be able to compare a value to a list of values with this new feature?

I want to filter the choices that are available based on whether or not they have already been created for an item. I have a relation column to identify all of the sizes already created.

When I set this up, it seems like Glide is treating the relation as a value to compare to, versus a list of individual values to compare against.

You want to check whether the value is/is not one of the values in the list?

Yes, that’s exactly right.

Has anybody tried yet? Would this allow someone to filter a choice component in an add/edit/form screen based on a prior selection? Would this help eliminate the 2 step form process where some selections would need to be made outside of a form, so that the value is written to the sheet, to set relations for list or choice filtering?

11

I’ve done this NOT in a form…it would be worth a try. Perhaps @Mark Would know off the top of his head?

Should work in a form.

Thank you so much for the update!

Dependent drop-down lists are on it’s way: https://7eykr.glideapp.io/

Update: no matter what I select in list1, list2 is the same.
