I having an issue with a button action workflow. I have the first button action to show a form with two of the form questions needing custom input by the user. When I hit the form submit button, all the data is feeding through to the designated spreadsheet except for the two custom data fields.

I’ve made a Loom video for any of you that can help to further explain:

Any help on how to fix this so that the workflow functions correctly would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,  
Jay

Are the columns visible in the Glide data editor ?

MaximeBaker, I was able to get the data to flow into the spreadsheet. Yes, the columns are visible in the data editor. BUT, the workflow is still not working properly or as setup.

Funny thing though, if I hit RUN from within the workflow editor, the workflow works fine. Why is it not working via the app screen?

Thanks for your help.

Is the problem occurring if you create a new workflow from scratch?

Just trying to understand your flow. Am I understanding  
correctly that your form is writing to a table, but then you want to immediately move that row to another table and delete the row from the table it was just written to?

I’m just wondering why you aren’t pointing your form to the final destination table. That way, you wouldn’t need an On Submit workflow.

I was able to work with Hassan N. to resolve this issue. I was sending the form data to the wrong table and I was missing a couple of steps in the workflow. Thanks MaximBaker and Jeff\_Hager for responding to my help request!
