We have one user table shared across five apps.
We have used a Row ID as a User ID so we can update emails and details if needed.
However the Row ID column has turned into a text column in all the apps. The values are not editable. When adding a new user we have to manually enter a new ID.
Has anyone else had the same issue? Is there any way to use a row id column on the users table across apps?
When you link an existing table to another App, you have to add a new RowID column. Once you do that, you should see the same values in the new RowID column.
The Row ID column type can’t be selected when adding a new column, it is greyed out.
We now don’t have a Row ID type column on this table in any of the apps, they’ve all changed to uneditable text columns.
That’s interesting - what is the data source?
Just to clarify, a RowID column is by definition an uneditable Text column. If the column type is disabled for new columns, that indicates that you do already have a RowID column in the table.
Can you confirm again that when you add a new row the RowID column remains empty?
Can you show me a screen shot of that?
Thanks for your help.
This is with Glide Tables only.
Some of our apps hadn’t had the user id column added and it was just a plain text column. We’ve added the row id column as you said and updated all the uses.
Our User ID text column is behaving exactly like a Row ID column and generating new codes when new rows are added.
The only difference is it isn’t displaying the padlock icon in the column name.
Ah, cool 
Yeah the padlock emoji is just a bit of eye candy, it doesn’t actually do anything.
