> [@Show another sheet column in Form](https://community.glideapps.com/t/show-another-sheet-column-in-form/10187/20): > > It´s what I call a ping pong effect. I have seen this before when an APP has multiple choices and relations Here you can see this annoying effect [https://dynchoices.glideapp.io](https://dynchoices.glideapp.io) If you select an option, the relation works but there is a delay to read/write the final value and meanwhile, the old value comes back and changes the screen. I have thought it could be a failure caused by internet speed (sometines the ping pong effect appears at beggining and later, everything works fine)… Hello @Mark, any news about this bug? I’m getting this on all my apps ---

Could you please share your app and tell me how to reproduce it? Can you make a video? ---

I can’t share my app but I already made a video: [![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/2X/a/aeee385811e3c373b09eeffec430ae9d9a8e7dd2.jpeg "User Specific Column Problem") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zw9XVw-QSZ4) In the video you can see two choice components (user specific), and in the moment I press the button you can see in the form that one of the values has changed from what the choice component said. It happens in detail screens with choice components, check box, switch, it is aleatory @gvalero I think you have an example right? ---

I’m so sorry Mark it appears that the bug has been fixed already, I have made a new app just to explain this to you but the bug isn’t there anymore. I’ve made this example app: > **[PingPong](https://pingpongeffect.glideapp.io/)** When the ping pong effect occurs everytime you change a value on any of those components the value in te other changes, but now is not happening anymore. In June you told us you were working on fixed it: > [@Show another sheet column in Form](https://community.glideapps.com/t/show-another-sheet-column-in-form/10187/21): > > We will fix this soon. I can swear the ping pong effect was a real issue. @gvalero can say that aswell Sorry for the problems and thank you for your help ---

Great job @Mark! I have tested 3 of my APPs with this problem and now everything works perfect. On last sunday this problem was still alive. Thanks for the post and good news @AlfredoZGC. Saludos ---

@Mark it seems that this bug is back in action. I think @Darren_Murphy could confirm. Has anybody else had this problem again? ---

In order for us to look into the issue please create a support case by emailing [support@glideapps.com](mailto:support@glideapps.com). It’s best to create a small sample app that isolates and demonstrates the problem. Make sure to include the following information: 1. A support link (if it’s a sample app and you make it copyable then just the URL of the sample app will be fine.) 2. Directions on how to navigate to the area with the issue. 3. Who the logged in user should be, if applicable. 4. A description of the issue, or even better, a screen recording (narrated if possible) showing what you are experiencing. You can use [loom.com](http://loom.com) or equivalent. Thanks, George ---

> [@SantiagoPerez](#): > > I think @Darren_Murphy could confirm. yeah, I’m not really sure. I’ve definitely seen “flip-flopping” behaviour - it usually seems to happen when you’re clearing multiple User Specific Columns, and then doing a Link to Screen as part of the same multi-step action. This was an extreme example though, as we had about 70 User Specific Columns involved. But it’s moot now, as we ended up taking a completely different approach - which resulted in just a handful of User Specific Columns 🤣 ---

Interesting today. Had a simple action ‘set row’ in another table via a relation from a submit on a form. The action performed as expected. About an hour later the data, in the rows changed via the ‘set row’, reverted back to the original data entered. Thinking it was a one off I recreated the action and again and performed the ‘set row’ it worked as expected. 2 hours later, guess what, it reverted back to the previous data. Given up for tonight, after all it is Sunday. 🤔 Assume you have reported to glide support as instructed by @George-Glide ? ---

As @Darren_Murphy mentioned we decided to take another route. So, no I didn’t. ---
