I am looking to mirror the data of a virtual column into a spreadsheet column. I have reached out to several members here who have been helpful but I still cannot get it to work. The app is a simple inventory app with 3 tables in the database (Products, Stock In, Stock Out). There is a virtual column (Current Stock) in the Products table that calculates current stock based on initial stock and 2 forms (Stock In, Stock Out) where the user inputs the barcode and a quantity. The Products tableโs columns are Product, color, length, barcode, etc. The Current Stock calculated by the virtual column shows up in the app but Iโd like to have a column on the Products table with the same data. Things Iโve tried:
-
adding a column to the spreadsheet (called In stock now), regenerating structure, under Formula for that column adding = [Current Stock]
-
creating an action
Action name: set current stock
For a record of this table: Products
Do this: data: set the values of some columns in this row
Set these columns: In stock now = [Current Stock]
the problem with this approach is the action can only be added to the Products view under Behavior/Event Actions/Row Selected. It works in this case, it fires off and copies the data when a row is selected but the intent is to have it fire off after the user hits โSaveโ when they Add or Remove stock through the Stock In or Stock Out views. However, the โSet Current Stockโ action is not visible under Behavior in those views as the data is on a different table (the Products table). Any suggestions would be appreciated, thank you.
