Prompt user for input and apply entered value to multiple rows

[BakMunSu]

Hi,

Is it possible to edit multiple rows with a single value that is entered by the user? I’ve seen that it’s possible to update columns using a set value, bit I would like this value to be set by the user. Preferably selected from an Enum list.

Also if I could reference a value from another table and apply that, that would work too.

I’m afraid you can’t change the value directly for your action button while triggering it. You could ask to change that value with Usersettings but it’s an additional step though.

[BakMunSu]

That would work as an alternative, could you elaborate? I’m new to AppSheet and I haven’t used User Settings yet.

Give users more control to customize app behavior.

Thank you.
I’ve created an action which links to the user settings with LINKTOVIEW for ease of use.
Now for some reason I’m unable to show this action on a deck view which uses a referenced list. If I enable the “Show action bar” option than the action shows up on each item from the referenced list. Is there a way around this?

Choose only that one action instead of automatic

@Adam is working on a feature that lets the user enter the value for a Set Column Value action.

[BakMunSu]

That’s great, is there an ETA for that?

[Henry_Scott]

Any timings on this item @praveen

[pravse]

It is still in the works. @Adam should probably share the estimated timeline as he is the feature owner.

[Henry_Scott]

@praveen thank you, we will wait for @Adam to respond

[Martina_Hawkins]

Hi @praveen have you had any reply from @Adam regarding this feature. Could really do with this feature.

[Henry_Scott]

No feedback yet? @praveen and @Adam

[Adam-google]

Some of the work for this has been done but it was put on hold while working on other new features and fixes. I am hoping to return to it soon.

[Henry_Scott]

@Adam, any progress on this request?

[Martina_Hawkins]

Hi @Adam, have you any ETA for this great feature? It is exactly what we need for something we are trying to implement.

Hi @Adam, just another supporter of this feature. Any thoughts when it would be available? Thanks so much.
