Hi everyone.
I’m back with another basic question they may imply another basic misunderstanding. But maybe it will help someone else that stumbles on this post.
I am working with two tables. One is like an inventory of items, the other is a history of actions done to those items. When I first started using AppSheet, I used automation to add a new row to the history table instead of using a grouped action, which I now see that I can do.
Is one better than the other in the long run? I understand there to be a limit on automated actions. Functionally, the two ways are accomplishing the same thing. I was just late to the idea of grouped actions…
Hopefully the question makes sense. I will rephrase if needed.
Thanks!

Thank you for the quick and thorough response!
It would, in my case, definitely be a big data source with about 10-12 simultaneous users.
So far, both ways have seemed to work fine. I just wanted to lock in one path and keep it that way…
Thank you again.
