I have the barcode scanner working able to scan in barcode… but how do I scan it out. Scanned in Barcode(12345) makes a line Scanned out Barcode (12345) also makes a new data line How do I formulate or custom action to say… Scan in Barcode 12345 (boolean false) Scan out Barcode 12345 (boolean true) how can i do this boolean change in the same data line?

@kahakun You can copy the sample app if you open the link on your computer. I thought that was clear - but it clearly wasn’t :frowning: [image]

No you were clear i did that… but i have an app i already built out… is there a way to copy what you did from copy of your SImple inventory into my pro app? also i completely recreated the sheets just like yours… but when i create the scan in linear barcode button it disappears :frowning:

You need to copy things manually between apps. Be diligent! Data editor - columns first…. Then ux components (and remember visibility settings!)

when i add the button as default it appears… but when i change the action to Scan Linear Barcode… is goes away but still showing that its present in screen data… i haven no idea whats going on…

@kahakun The problem could be a visibility issue. Try to remove all visibility constraints if any put on the button. You can also try to create a compound (“Create new action”) action instead of a normal action Try also to add some data into the sheet where the barcode goes. Other components same variable might be restricting you to get access to the button. That was a few ideas

@kahakun I think there might be a bug there but I managed to get it working and I’m not totally sure what did the trick - but some of the suggestions I gave might help…

@kahakun A few more suggestions. Try to tweak to get it working. create a new tab and put the button to scan there create a google sheet (if your app is connected to google sheets) and try to scan the information to that sheet. Change afterwards the sheet connected to the tab - so you use your originally Glide table. recreate the tab (or potentially just copy the whole tab) where the scan button is found

nothing worked… so strange… so when i select table Input_simple_invetory the Scan in action makes the button disappear… but otherwise the button works… i cant figure out where i messed up the data it all looks fine

somehow “the source” is corrupt? idk what would be causing it

@kahakun totally understand the fustration. I was there yesterday. Try some of the suggestions, recreation - and reload the app (CTRL+F5 - windows)
