Hi everyone!  
I’m new here and I’m having a bit of trouble setting up a button.

My goal is to create a checklist with a _reset_ button. The problem is that I’m working with **two tables** instead of one: a **parent table** , which contains the general information, and a **child table** , which holds the actual checklist items.

For example — in the main menu I want to see “Mountain vacation”, “Beach vacation”, etc. When I click on one of them, it opens a new screen showing the specific checklist (like “Clothes”, “Shoes”, etc).

I’ve already searched for similar cases, but all the solutions I found are for setups using a **single table**. Because of that, when I try to set up the reset flow, it only lets me target the **parent table** , not the **child checklist** — and I can’t figure out how to properly link them so the button works as intended.

Has anyone run into a similar situation? How did you solve it?

Thanks in advance!

The below solution should work for you, since it does rely on a value stored in a parent table.

> There have been several requests for people to find a way to clear a value in multiple rows. I was thinking about that and came up with a quick example of a way to handle that. Instead of trying to clear a value in an entire column, I realized we could just change one value on a parent column, load it as a single value in our sheet and then compare that parent value to a column that we set or unset for each row. It’s not about clearing an entire column, it’s about making a value in each row n…
