Row ID's in Shared User Table

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 :+1:
Yeah the padlock emoji is just a bit of eye candy, it doesn’t actually do anything.
