> **[Agent Covessa · Glide - 28 November 2021](https://www.loom.com/share/df34961c11974567b6dbe6823f23c5c8)** A short example of why it is needed. If you have a condition that all rows are filtered out, there is no way to go ‘back’ by setting a value, as there is no row to write to, no relationship that can be made. ---

yeah, it’s kind of odd that you can’t already do this. I mean, you can _read_ them from anywhere, so why not be able to _write_ to them? btw, I think this is essentially the same request as this one ⬇ > [@Need "Set Column \> User Profile \>" without template/relationToUser](https://community.glideapps.com/t/need-set-column-user-profile-without-template-relationtouser/34131): > > In order to write a value to the currently signed in user’s row from a different sheet, you need to: create a template column point it to User Profile \>Row ID or Email create a relation column that links the two sheets by this value [Screen Shot 2021-11-06 at 3.01.38 PM] Only then can you do a “set column” action to the user profile sheet.
