Hi all. I am new to Glide and loving it so far. I’m working on a custom CRM for a health insurance agency. I have searched for an answer to this question and can’t find it. I have implemented a Calendar Collection and want to be able to filter events based on current user (I am requiring users to log in) after they have been added to the Calendar. However, I cannot find a way to record the current user who creates a new Calendar event. The data associated is only the title, start time and end time. I see that I can add actions to the title bar and item click, but that does not enable recording the user who initially creates the event, only after clicking into the item details. Am I missing something simple here? ---

I don’t think you are missing anything. It would be much better if we can record more fields with the inline action. Your best bet now is using the Title Bar Action. ---

Thank you for your quick response, ThinhDinh. The Title Bar Action would require the user to click a button after they create the Calendar event, right? Are you thinking something like an Assign button that would allow the user to assign the event to themselves? The other option I thought of is to create a separate event form that would go onto the calendar. I’m already doing this with a Projects form. The user can create a project that automatically goes on to the Calendar, and these are linked to the current user. The only problem with this is that I would disallow the users to add events directly on the Calendar, which is not really ideal. ---

Are you thinking something like an Assign button that would allow the user to assign the event to themselves? I meant a form where users can add an event, and you can record their ID/email as a special value. ---

That makes sense. It sounds like that’s my only option at this point. Hopefully they will add this ability to the Calendar Collection down the road. ---
