Request for Input on implementing Tags

The choice component allows you to have a multiple option, that will write a comma-delimited list of values.

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 :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes: 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

Then how I interpreted your instruction was to set up a relation in the tags table

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

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.

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

Thanks @Darren_Murphy I can now access nthe app - that Taghelper table has shit my brain down!!! LOL…I will revisit it after a good nights sleep!
Any explanation of what each cilumn represents would be greatly appreciated!

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.
