[Refer to our Start Here post.](https://community.glideapps.com/t/start-here-reporting-platform-bugs-issues/40)_ * * * **Team ID:** - [https://go.glideapps.com/o/oZXMrwTrsK6mBGRXP4mF/f/061711a1-d25f-40ef-9ee0-8ad3e070b672](https://go.glideapps.com/o/oZXMrwTrsK6mBGRXP4mF/f/061711a1-d25f-40ef-9ee0-8ad3e070b672) **App ID:** - [https://go.glideapps.com/app/nLQ2o81Dy3LnY6df2xYo/layout](https://go.glideapps.com/app/nLQ2o81Dy3LnY6df2xYo/layout) **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** 1. Create two Glide apps (App A, App B) that **share the same User table** via **Linked Table**. 2. In **App A** , sign in as an **admin** user. 3. 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). 4. Observe: the value appears to update briefly, then **reverts** to the original value after the screen refreshes/syncs. 5. Now open the **Data Editor** for the same table/row and change the same field **manually**. 6. 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. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/4/8/48477550fb8c8dec9c81670b583892ca55568bf2.png) ---

Is the column you are changing configured as a Role column in your user profile configuration? And if so, are you actually using it for Row Owners based on Roles? ---

The issue’s resolved — I removed the Role setting from the user profile. Thank you ---
