I have a workflow that is supposed to clear the values of some columns, but won’t.

I need it to reset the user at the end of the workflow.

Set Column Values is tied to the results of a query.

The Query’s results are correct.

Are those columns User Specific?  
If yes, that is why. Server side workflows cannot access User Specific values.

Looks like that is it! Thanks.

Any suggestions to get around this?

Can you describe more why those columns are user-specific? What’s the use case here?

They don’t need to be, but it’s synced with Airtable. So any column I create in Glide is marked as user specific. Which is why I didn’t realize they were. Totally forgot this issue till you brought it up.  
Right now I’ve been working on moving this part to a new table that doesn’t sync with Airtable.  
Appreciate the help.

Can you just add that column in Airtable and remove the old one? That way, it won’t be user-specific anymore.

I’ll try that. The reason I didn’t want to use Airtable columns was speed.
