Hi,

I just want to ask if glide can do this

Suppose I am making an invoice of products, user will select product from a list and then they type in the amount that they want. for example I have 3 products from my list

Products

1. Banana
2. Orange
3. Apple

Then in the Amount column they put in an amount that they want

Banana | 2  
Orange | 1  
Apple | 2

now all the information will be in table list form, once save I want to combine those answer into 1 cell. I am able to do that if I do a template as in Banana-2 and then join list with the other products. But then if I want to edit them, I cant relation it back to the original form.

Is there a way that glide can save the item as an array in one cell (banana 1, orange 1, apple 2) then if the user want to edit, I can relate the product name and set the column value of the “amount” to the number that they input.

I’m not sure if I’m making any sense

Last week, I posted a tutorial on a new way to create inline arrays using the Trebuchet method Part 2 is a deep dive on how you can Trebuchet more than a single value by creating arrays of JSON exploding_head. Check out how to build an inventory ordering app using the JSON Trebuchet Method! :popcorn:Enjoy!

You can try this method.
