Hello, I am using glide for a nonprofit I am part of. We are using the global chat function. Unfortunately, I am not able to figure out how to add timestamping in global chat. By timestamping, I mean each message in the chat does not show what time and date it was sent on. However, I can see the name of the person writing a particular message. ---

Hello there. Could you try the following: - Create a spreadsheet in Google Sheets. It doesn’t really matter in which account, though preferably in the Google account you used to sign in to Glide. - In the A1 cell, write “DateTime”. This is simply to make sure your sheet is non-empty. - Return to Glide, to your app project, to the data editor, add a new table, add thevGoogle Sheets spreadsheet you just created. - Now return to the global chat and write a message. Either immediately or within a short period of time, back in your spreadsheet, you should see a new tab called “App:Comments” appear. Columns will automatically have been added: ID, Username, Email, DateTime, Comment. The “App:Comments” tab is only available in Google Sheets, not in the Data Editor in Glide.
