Hi I need help troubleshooting user specific data on published app.
inside Glide I can toggle between users “view as user” and the data changes as it should (e.g it works as I wanted to for the published app).
But on the published app, the data seems to stay static (I’ve tried testing on different browsers still no luck)
Data source is google sheet
What do you mean by static? You can’t preview as different users in the published app unless you sign in as each user separately.
by static I meant the data is not changing based on the user profile.
I was trying to avoid the sign in by using a form (name, email) and using that as user profile (under “users & authentication” settings, Im using a google sheet as the source with user data from the form in Glide.
In the Glide Layout preview this works when I switch between users
But I guess what you’re saying is that this won’t work in the published app unless I change it to a private app
Avoid the sign in?
Users will either be signed in or they won’t. There is no way to “pretend” that a user is signed in, if that is what you are trying to do.
It sounds like your users are not signed in, in which case any values added to user specific columns will be lost as soon as the user navigates away from the App.
Not necessarily. The app can also be Public with sign in.
