Solved: input() using bulk actions - Page 2

WillVerkaik · 03-05-2023 10:50 AM

As I understand the input() function is still in beta, however I am trying to have a user enter a value to populate across a number of records. Using INPUT() to request from a user, then set this value in a column.

When using this function against a single record it works fine.

When performing this across a bulk selection of records, it will only work with the one record, while the rest remain unchanged.

I am looking to hear if there are options for this?

My action->

When I use bulk actions using 'Data: add a row to another table using values from this row', works well adding multiple records. ( even though the command appears to be singular like the previous command)

As you identified, the INPUT function can be used for that.

say 10 records ( selected by user )

As you identified, AppSheet's bulk select functionality is one way to do this. However, given your observation that the INPUT function, which can be finicky and, regardless, remains a beta feature, doesn't work with bulk select, you may need to create an alternative method for users to select rows.
