I thought this set columns action was working, but I am trying it now and it’s not.

I have two the following buttons set up one atop the other.  
One set to off:  
 ![hidechat](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/9/69358ad0945265e78d860d37459fbc664284907b.png)  
This component should show when the hide my business column ‘is not’ ‘true’

And the other vice versa, set to on (the on button is shaded in)  
This component should show when the hide my business column ‘is’ ‘true’

I have the following for set column action for both buttons:

Not sure what I am doing wrong? I also tried ‘not true’ for the set columns wording.

Hi, stupid question, but

- did you try to write TRUE/FALSE in upper cases (once I faced an issue with this)?
- are the “HideFromChat” column with the type Boolean?

Yes, it’s set to a boolean column, should it also be user specidfic?

I also don’t notice booleans inside of the Google Sheet for this column.

Let me try the uppercase.

I also have this set for the Relation column being used, this might be the issue.

The set column sheet is different from the sheet the tab is on. Will a lookup of the ‘Hide From Chat’ boolean column in the User Profiles-Businesses work for ‘Row’ dropdown of this action?

Still stuck here. Am I doing this incorrectly? Thanks!
