Ok Thnnk you - I am doing this now…please give me a few mins - so the Tags field in the people table will just be a text field correct ---

Exactly, and would contains row ids to prevent any kind of misspellings in the case of free text input anywhere in your app 😝 tho it would not happen with choice component anyway. ---

Thank you MAxime - my interpretation of your instructions has advanced me to being able to add an entry to the tags field in the people row, but I am still struggling how I can add multiple choices in the scope of a single submit, and not overwrite the existing tags in a subsequent submit Let me try to get a bit more clarity… _Create the tags column_. - I have created a text field in the people table called Tags\_csv ![Screenshot 2025-01-26 at 2.46.49 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/3/d3b328022b7f8cdc896a2fd8c7065bb54ab51291.png) Then how I interpreted your instruction was to set up a relation in the tags table ![Screenshot 2025-01-26 at 2.46.25 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/9/4996bfac984973c9d829b8e96763230b6dbae30c.jpeg) This allows me to add one tag at a time to the tag\_CSV field in the TalentPool row people record. Also, if I go back to add an additional tag, it overwrites the first tag ---

No, I meant that you create the relation in the people table. The relation would be looking into the tags table → row id from the people table → tags columns. Try this! ---

Ok - I have moved the relationship to the people (Talent Pool) table ![Screenshot 2025-01-26 at 3.08.47 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/e/1/e16c1d07bcb0d4e4f6b09f0377d95bc1329a7374.png) ![Screenshot 2025-01-26 at 3.09.00 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/0/f/0f44a1d2281ceef9d6cc7297f9cf48de90f3a742.jpeg) ![Screenshot 2025-01-26 at 3.09.19 pm](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/a/9/a92f3487a7277abb49b5c1ecddb874f305d32a60.jpeg) Is this right? I am still only able to insert one tag and in a subsequent submit, it overwrites the current entry. ---

Hi @ThinhDinh… Can you help me please with the next level of detail. I have a table that is people and a table of tags I am having trouble envisaging how multiple tags can be chosen as all of the choices components that I have seen so far only allow for one choice at a time ---

Coming in very late here, and I’ve not read all posts in the topic fully, but… a year or so ago I created a template to demonstrate one way of dynamically creating/applying and filtering by tags. You’re welcome to make a copy, if it would be of any use. > **[Dynamic Tags](https://go.glideapps.com/template/BbleVXSXzJiv9oULS4Ca-template-published?privateTemplateToken=L3Ihn8qBXNTKWmmGPiKx)** ---

Thank you @ThinhDinh for your assistance…@MaximeBaker has been an amazing support today - basically there beside me all day helping me to wrangle with all aspects of this use case. And now … your help in the above comment has finally “broken through”… This comment has been the final piece of the jigsaw - I finally looked closely at the options for the choice component - This journey is NOT just me learning about Glide but learning about my learning effectiveness…(or lack thereof) And thanks to @DarrenMurphy for your consistent support LOL ---

Thank you @maximeBaker so much for your help and support - It is not just the actual insights you provide that make a difference but the fact that you, and @Darren_Murphy , @ThinhDinh and others are willing to be there to assist that makes the psychological difference that obstacles will never become insurmountable…Many people fail to begin a journey, or give up at the first obstacle as they can not see how they can be successful - Knowing that you and the other expert contribtors are here and no matter how silly or obvious the question, you treat it with respect and true caring. This a very unique and valuable community and I am very grateful for all your asistance …and so timely as well…I feel I am making real progress and winning! ANd the other thing…so far, n matter what the use case / requirement I have, Glide always manages to find a way to do it ---

It’s quite a while since I built that, so I’d probably have to go back and study it a bit. Also, there may be simpler approaches now - again, I’d have to take a close look at it. If there are any bits of it that you’re struggling to get your head around, point them out and I’ll see if I can explain. ---
