I have an app that allows students to upload videos of tasks for assessment. This is done through a Form with File Picker for the video files, as well as fields for Task, and special values forStudent Email, Date submitted Once the student uploads the video its STATUS = Submitted The assessor can view any video with a STATUS = Submitted The assessor then marks the video PASS or RE-Submit, also providing feedback in Notes My challenge comes when the Status is set to Re-Submit If I use a Form to action the Re-Submit on Submit Form it creates a New Row with the New details in it, However I need to update the status of the Original Row to “ReSubmitted” so it no longer gets processed. I am struggling to be able to update this after a submit form as I can’t track the Original Row Number. If I update the STATUS before submitting the Form then the STATUS will be incorrect if they cancel the form and don’t submit the video. Is there a way I can use the New Compound Actions to do this Or maybe via Zapier ? Any help/ideas would be very welcome Thanks Rob ---

You should be able to do it with the compound actions. If you need to keep the original video, create a new column to hold the resubmitted video. Create a button that links to “this item”, show the file picker pointing to the resubmit video column. Once that column is not empty, show a “Send” button that has the below actions: - Go back - Set Status to Resubmitted - Show notification/Play sound if needed The process should be the same if you want to overwrite the original video. Before the link to screen part, use a set column to clear the original video link. ---

ThinhDinh, Just to let you know I have now got this working successfully, based upon your advice. My new approach is this; Created a button that links to “this item(Technique)”, this open the row to resubmit now show the three file pickers pointing to the resubmit-base, resubmit-science, resubmit-variants columns. Once those columns are not empty, Display a “Submit” button that has the below actions: - Check if Technique is Not Empty - Go back - Set Column in this Row STATUS=RESUBMITTED - Add New Row for the newly submitted Technique, sets UsersEmail, Submit Date, the new videos using the values from Previous record for the new videos. - Show notification that Technique has been submitted successfully - Go back to the Technique Assessment Status screen The New row triggers a Zap to upload the videos to Viemo (so as to get around teh 10GB Glide storage limits) @ThinhDinh Many Thanks for your advice and help, much appreciated. Thanks Again ---
