It stays as “Prestador” for a while, but shortly after, it’s empty again. This is really annoying and is a crucial status in my app. What can i do?
Welcome to Glide’s community forum.
If I remember correctly, the content in the role column can only be changed inside the Glide builder, not from within the app itself.

Oh, this makes sense, since every other column it’s working fine. I will try to add another column with the same function and see if it works. Thank you!
I just added a screenshot in my previous reply. Indeed roles cannot be set from within the app. There might be nuances or workarounds, but generally speaking, it seems like a “users cannot set roles from an app”.
Roles can be changed via the API, or by using server side workflows.
Here is how to do it via the API with the Make integration:
