Hi All!
I wonder if anyone has solved the “screen variant” issue as yet (there seems to be a few requests in the past)? i.e. Two tabs referencing 1 Glide Table and updating different columns in each Tab (for the same Row of data).
Scenario:
1. I have a Glide Table with 2 Columns (both Number) and 1 row
2. I have two Tabs that reference the same Glide Table
On Tab 1 - I **want** to view / update Column 1 via Number Entry Component 1 (and not see Number Entry Component 2)
On Tab 2 - I **want** to view / update Column 2 via Number Entry Component 2 (and not see Number Entry Component 1)
My logic says that I need a visibility filter to tie against the Tab e.g. Show Number Entry Component 1 when Tab = Tab 1.
I might be over complicating this and the solution is staring me in the face, but any suggestions on how I could do this would be very gratefully received. Many thanks!

With the new compound action I think you can do it.
I’m not sure if two tabs can have two actions tied to the same list of items, if you can’t do that just make 2 inline lists, but here we go.
Create a user-specific column in your user profiles sheet called “Viewing Tab”.
In Tab 1, the action tied with your list should go like this:
- Set column: Viewing tab to “Tab 1” (Make a further template column that stores the “Tab 1” text, we can’t insert custom values yet)
- View details
Similarly in Tab 2, set column Viewing tab to “Tab 2” (another template column) and view details.
Show the number entry component 1 when signed-in user’s Viewing tab is Tab 1 and vice versa.
