So you’re using a set column “on submit” action?

Looks like same problem here.

I just had a similar case: I wanted to write with a “set column”-action to a row, which is added through a form in the same instance, if the user didn’t fill in the same column.
I think Glide does not allow users to write to the same column **in the same instance** twice (through different means: fill in form & set column).
Please check if that’s the case
