I need to change the state of a row automatically. For example, I make a reservation, my row changes to reserved, and after 24 hours it should change to free again. How can I do with glide? ---

Glide doesn’t support this natively, but there are ways to get the desired behaviour. You could try something like this: - Create an extra date time column, call it something like “Reserved At” - When a reservation is made, set that column to the current time (Now) - Create a math column, call it something like “Reservation Expiry Time”. The formula will be `RA+1`, where RA is the Reservation Time - Now use an if-then-else column to determine the status. - If Expiry Time is after Now, then Reserved - Else Available ---
