Hi! I’m facing challenges with edits updating on a my user profile screen I created in my app. I have two screens setup
Welcome Screen! I setup visibility conditions-”Show tab when Name is empty & Filter data- Email is signed in user.”
I then added a button for users to “Create their proile” & chose the action to “Show edit screen”.
Profile Screen - I added visibility conditions-Show tab when Name is not empty & Filter data-Email is signed in user. Then as a component a “Profile Container”. Within the profile container, I added an option for users to “Edit their profile” & chose the action to “Show edit Screen” & chose the slide-in feature.
When I test out editing the user profile & make updates, everything stays the same. Nothing updates on the Profile screen & user profile in the database. I’m not sure if I’m missing any steps or if my visibility conditions or filter days are incorrect.
One thing that immediately sticks out at me is that “Type of User” column, which is User Specific.
What is that column used for, and do you have any other User Specific columns in your Users table?
Normally you don’t need those, especially if you are using Row Owners - which you are.
The type of user column is set up for: those that are looking to start a business, startups, seasoned entrepreneurs, & students. I did have this column as user-specific & just updated this remove this criteria. Thanks so much for catching this error!
I have to admit I’m at a loss to explain why this isn’t working for you. As far as I can see, you have it setup correctly. The only thing I’d say is the filter “email is signed in user” isn’t necessary, because you have Row Owners on your Email column. But that wouldn’t make any difference to the problem you’re having.
Walk me through your process when updating the profile. I assume you click the edit button, change certain values on your slide-in edit screen, and then click on the submit button to save it, correct? I assume your entry components on that edit screen point to the correct columns in your user table, but can you show the configuration for one or two of those entry components?
Do you have any On Submit actions on your edit form?
Here’s a video on how the user profile is set up in the database and layout screen. Please let me know if there are any issues viewing the video and I will upload it again. Thank you so much!
We can’t access your video, because it is not public.
But I’m not sure that it has the information that Jeff asked for:
If we can get the answers to Jeff’s questions, I think we might be very close to solving your problem.
We need to see (or understand) how you interact with the Edit screen - the one you talked about here:
If you’re not using that Edit form correctly, that may explain why the data isn’t saving.
I will follow up with those you recommended.
