Hello community.  
I’m having a hard time with some components, for who injecting data in database are most of the time user data.  
For example the voice recorder (Beta) allow only to inject data on my user table. Why I’m not able to use another table?

Thanks a lot and have a great day 🙂

Usually you will be able to select the user’s profile row (which is globally accessible everywhere in your app), or any column in the row of the table that the screen is currently attached to. If your screen is attached to the user table, then yes that will be the only option. If the screen is attached to a different table, then that table’s columns will be shown along with the user profile table columns.

@Maxime_Im_Nomade

Here is an explanation how tables translate into tabs, collections of rows into collection components, single rows into screens, and columns into components.
