Ya…you’re trying to create a relation in both tables using two different methods. It appears that you prefer to set which resources should be in the folder at the folder level using a choice component thereby creating an inline array. I imagine you’re splitting this column and relating back to the files themselves? This method is helpful (necessary?) if you want a file to belong to multiple folders.

However, this means that if you want to add a file to a folder from the file level, you’ll need to use what we call the Trebuchet method:

> In certain situations, a single column has the potential to replace an entire table of data. The Trebuchet Method allows you to create an inline array that allows you to create a SIMPLE one-to-many relationship between two sets of data without the need of a log or submissions table. Examples: Who owns which item Who has registered for an event Who has completed which task Pros: no app bloat no additional rows of data fairly easy to set up Cons: Can only track one data point (eg. who has w…

There are a couple of alternatives to this overall setup, but it would mean that files could only belong to one folder OR you’d need a helper table of sorts that would associate a file to a folder on each row of that table (thereby increasing your row quota exponentially).

Thx man. Ima just stick to adding it in the folders. I need to have a resource in multiple folders anyway to it’s totally not worth it mostly. I just sometimes think I miss things on relations but in all actuality I am over thinking it and over complicating the behavior. I appreciate your time replying. I’m not sure what I would do without the glide community. You guys are the best!
