I’m making an app that tracks hiking gear. I made a simple form with 4 inputs (item, type, weight, and notes) and a button at the bottom to theoretically add that gear item to a list that can then be viewed by the user on their profile under a ‘my gear’ page.
I can’t for the life of me figure out how to do this. I think it’s through data and workflows but every time I try to add a workflow to the ‘add gear’ button, it only lets me use one of the inputs.
Any help is appreciated. Bonus points for pics or video of how to do it because I’m kind of dumb.
Are you trying to save the values from the 4 inputs into a single data field that is of type list, or are the different input values supposed to be saved into 4 different data fields?
What is the datastructure (ie: screen shots will help) for the data type of which these 4 input values are supposed to be saved?
What is the type of content on these 4 input types (again, screen shots help)?
I’m still trying to figure out how to use the data so I actually don’t have anything there anymore - wiped it clean so I could do it the right way when I figure out how.
With each of the descriptors being a separate input. However, each of these inputs describe one piece of gear - so I’d want the data to point all inputs to that one piece of gear. From there, a list could be compiled for multiple pieces of gear. I’d like people to be able to see a list of their gear, with descriptions nestled inside somehow (description would come from inputs).
Make data type called gear. Data field called title (Coleman Tent). Make option set called Gear type (list all your types ie: Shelter). Data field called Weight of type Number (7lbs) and data field called Notes of type text.
I really do not understand what you are doing with the make changes to a list of things…your form is to create or modify a single thing, not a list of things.
Do you mean could you create an entry in the database, yes you can, but you might want to use the searchbox element as that allows you to type and search at same time and if the typed value is not in th DB then the typed value could be used to create a new entry in the DB
