Solved: Trouble with user input on an action - Page 2

I'm trying to build a simple app for students to check out a computer. They see a list of available computers, and select the Check Out action, which creates a log entry and marks the computer as unavailable. However, I would like the student to enter their name when checking out. I have the action set to Data:add a new row... and the column set to INPUT("Name", TEXT("Guest")). The Input() function seems to be working, because the default value is entered. However, there is no prompt for the student to actually enter text. What am I missing here?

Yes that's unfortunately true. BUT.. you can do that with a combination of "sequence of actions" and "Execute an action on a set of rows". First you generate the new row, and then you update it with the INPUT().
