Hi All,

I need help to create a setup for Random Messages when a user of my app submits an action or edits a form. What I mean is instead of a single message like “Done”, it would select a message from an array of message for example and display that instead of the static message. E.g Each time they submit an action a different message is selected randomly.

Thank in advance.

Create a helper table with random answers in each row… add a column with the row number… add the Random Number column. multiply the result by a number of possible answers… make it an integer… relate that result to the row number… you will get your random answer by looking up that reletion

How will it dynamically change and select a different message each time an action is completed? How do i then use this message in a different table?

Every time you complete an action, you need to trigger the random number… by changing the random number column source (seed), you can use a current date or a unique identifier… then copy that message using a single value column to any table you wish
