User specific columns issue

[o_te_hennepe]

Hi all,

I’m working on an app and one part of the app is for users to create a BOM (Bill of Materials) for manufacturing purposes. The BOM should be different for each user and I got it sort of to work but if someone adds 4 materials for examples and someone else starts a new BOM and adds a material, the first 4 rows for this person will be empty and their material will be added to the 5th of row. Is there any way to get this added to first row?

See below some pictures of an example.

Don’t use user specific columns to store the values. User specific columns only make sense if you want multiple people to store different values in a column in the same row. Instead you should be included a column with the user’s email and either assign row owners to that email column or filter the rows by the signed in user.
