I have a glide (not Google) sheet of “updates” that allows users of my app (private with email) to add updates on things. One of the update columns is a user specific boolean called “read”. In the “update feed” a user will see updates made by users other than them which THEY have not currently marked as “read” (hence the user specific setting for the “read” column). ISSUE: When a user accesses the app from their phone and their desktop (same user but different device) the “read” column is not synching, almost as if they are separate users? Any ideas? ---

Strange, would like to hear more on this. I do check both devices from my side once in a while but never at the same time so I have not seen this behaviour. ---

Hi @ThinhDinh thanks for the input. Just to be clear: - My app uses Glide Sheets exclusively - It is private with email - The “read” column is user specific - This column seems to have a different value depending on the device the user accesses from You do have this scenario in your app(s) but have not seen the issue? Cheers ---

To be clear, I have not used two devices at the same time. Let’s say if I allow them a time to “sync” then it works as normal. ---

Understood. Thanks. I am not seeing any sync of this user specific column irrespective of how long I wait. That’s a cause for concern I think. Let’s see if any of the Glide Team can shed some light. Cheers. ---

I would expect that behavior on a Public app with no sign in, but not in your situation with Private with Email. ---

Morning @Mark / @david - are you able to shed any light on this please? I am stalling on a customer at the moment. Thanks. ---

@Mark is this better handled via an email to support? ---

Sorry about the delay. A fix for this is going out on Tuesday. ---

That’s ok @Mark. In a way I’m glad it’s a bug as I’ve been thinking it was me. I will tell the customer and try again next Tuesday. Thanks. ---

I recently made a post about this and I think this is the fix I’m looking for. Looking forward to Tuesday! Need the userspecific boolean! ---

@Mark did this get fixed today? I am still seeing the issue I think. ---

I can confirm that this is still NOT fixed today, as far as I can see. Is it supposed to be or is teh fix not yet in place? Thanks. ---

Just trying now … and maybe it is fixed? My user-specific columns had disappeared, but when I recreated them, the correct functionality seems to be in place. Is this expected behaviour @Mark? ---

Yes. The bug we fixed was that they weren’t created previously - it just looked like they were.
