I’m trying to figure out how to do this onboarding step.

I have the following tab set up, should users edit via the pencil, or is using a submit button a better option?  
 ![onboard](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/a/0a6cde0d8910b9863cce83c60c012c49b637f42b.png)

In this screen, I can edit right in the fields, but there isn’t a way to make it required.

What should I have when a user wants to edit this information afterward? I tried adding a button to the user profile screen that links back to this tab, but that doesn’t work.

Thanks!

Definitely no, that is not UX-friendly.

Create a custom action where you’ll specify if text entry is empty show a notification and tada it’ll work 🎉 !

In the profile page of the user, you can add entry texts that the user can change 🙂

**I wanted this behind a button and link to the onboarding tab, but doesn’t look like it’s possible because nothing happens when I do so.**

Well, to my knowledge there’s no link available to open the profile page, however you have two choices here :

- Whether you users access their informations under the my profile page
- Or if really it’s a necessary action, you can create another page in which you can get a link for it !

I created this button on the user profile screen, nothing happens when I click on it.

Ok I am seeing maybe it links to the tab, but reads it as the same sheet.

This is the solution I came up with for users to change their user profile info. would rather have it behind a button, but it doesnt work.

That’s what I was thinking. Did you try to add an “update” button with a custom action “set row” ?

That’s what I mean by custom action :

What do you mean by “behind button” just try to follow the tutorial link and I’m sure you’ll make it work 🙂
