Hey Everyone.
Like I always say… with AppSheet there’s
I have found myself in one of those situations. I COULD devise a system that would solve this, but this has brought to light a core functionality that we are missing with AppSheet.
With the current capabilities, we can slice & dice data in the following ways:
The best we can come up with currently, is to flag the item you’re wanting to push data from - isolate it out with a slice, then use a dedicated action to pull data from that special slice.
Again… pull only.
If we had a way to push data into a preexisting record - we wouldn’t need all that overhead. (Along with all the unnecessary back-and-form with the servers, which can cause problems if people are concurrently editing the same record trying to set a flag.)
I know this has been requested before, but I wanted to bring it to light again - as each time I encounter this problem, which is rare to be fare, I always come to the same conclusion: an action system would solve this problem.
This would round out the data manipulation methods you would ever need to do whatever with your data. Literally the last thing on the list here. (^_^)
As always, thanks for considering!
