Description
Two apps share the same User table via Linked Table. When I update a user’s field from App A using a workflow → Set Column Values (or via Edit screen in a Collection/Details screen), the value changes momentarily and then reverts to the previous value.
If I edit the exact same field directly in the Data Editor, the change persists and propagates as expected.
I’m an administrator editing other registered users’ rows. I believe this is a bug.
How to replicate
-
Create two Glide apps (App A, App B) that share the same User table via Linked Table.
-
In App A, sign in as an admin user.
-
In a Collection item (or Details screen) representing a User row (not the current user), run a workflow → Set Column Values to update a specific field (e.g., a text field or flag).
- Alternatively, try editing the same field via the Edit screen UI.
-
Observe: the value appears to update briefly, then reverts to the original value after the screen refreshes/syncs.
-
Now open the Data Editor for the same table/row and change the same field manually.
-
Observe: the change persists and is reflected across both apps.
Expected behavior
Updates made via Set Column Values or the Edit screen should persist exactly like edits made in the Data Editor.
Actual behavior
UI-driven updates (workflow or Edit screen) revert shortly after the action, while Data Editor updates persist.
Notes
-
Two separate apps, same User table via Linked Table.
-
Admin account editing other users’ rows.
-
Reproducible consistently.
-
Data Editor writes succeed; UI/workflow writes revert.
