Hello everyone,

I’m trying to create a simple app to track task completion across multiple stores. Here is the structure of my app: **Store \> Universe \> Sector \> Aisle**.  
For each **aisle** , there is a fixed list of **four tasks** to complete (e.g., restock the aisle, place equipment, install signage, etc.).

I want users to be able to select a **store** , navigate through the hierarchy to the **aisle they need** , and mark tasks as **completed** (I only need a binary “done” or “not done” status, no need for “in progress” states).

### What I have done so far:

1. **Uploaded an Excel file** with one sheet per hierarchy level (Store, Universe, etc.).
2. **Added IDs** to establish relationships between the different tables.
3. **Created relationships** between tables so that users only see the relevant tasks for each aisle in each store.
4. **Added a Boolean field** in the Task table to store the task status (completed or not).
5. **Used a checklist component** on the task page so users can mark tasks as done.
6. **Set up basic calculations** to track progress.

I **do not need user-specific columns** , as the same tasks are shared across all users.

### The issue: Video here [Unique Download Link | WeTransfer](https://we.tl/t-jKFytuHYC4)

Whenever users click on a **task in the checklist** , they get an **error message** , as if they **do not have permission to edit** the task status.

From what I understand, the checklist component should **allow users to update task statuses** , so I’m not sure what’s causing this issue.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I can not view your video, can you use something like [Loom](https://loom.com) instead?
