Hi,
Easy question, I thinkโฆ
Iโve made a slice based upon user input, like the example app. The problem in the App I created is : My app updates the row instead of the possibility to choose a value. So basically I want to make a view based upon a selected value, not to update the existing value in the view. Do you know whats wrong in my code?
@Richard_Thijs Hi Richard, Iโm afraid I donโt quite understand your problem. Could you elaborate please? You can also point us to the app by giving us the name of the app, as well as the names of the relevant views, slices/tables, and columns.
Hi @Harry, Thank you for the reaction. In the example app you can choose weather you want to show the red items or the blue items. In the app Iโm creating, I want (as a teacher) to choose a user and view his/her scores. In what Iโve created so far I can select a user, but when I do that I change the value in the spreadsheet. So I change the username. As you can understand, that is totaly not what I want! The name of the app :KopievanLeerlingenGCMgsheet-375172 The view : Login is the view where I choose a student, in ProbemView I want to show al records of that student.
You can see in the picture that itโs possible to scroll trough the records in the spreadsheet. When I select an other student. I change the value of said recordโฆ
@Richard_Thijs Hi Richard, if you want to collect userโs input without writing directly to the spreadsheet, you can try using user settings. You can read more about it here:

@Harry Yeah, Iโve tought about that. But they didnโt use it in the example app Iโve shown above. So I was thinking there must be an other way?! Sorryโฆ
Plus, Iโve created an other app previously with this little feature. It worked perfect! So it must be possible, I just canโt find how.
@Richard_Thijs Hi Richard, in the sample, whenever a user selects a color and saves this selection, this input will actually be written to the spreadsheet. To verify this, you can make a copy of the sample app and then look into the appโs underlying spreadsheet.
@Harry: youโre absolutely correct. My mistake. Sorry!
Thanks for the help.
@Richard_Thijs No problem :). I forgot to mention that the main advantage of using User Settings is that each user of the app will be able to save their own settings. If you use an actual table, whatever settings saved by one user will be applied to all other users as well. However, if you use the User Settings feature, settings saved by one user will only be saved in the userโs local device or browser. This means that each user will be able to keep their own settings, and users wonโt be able to accidentally overwrite settings of other users.
