Collect button choice with column data

Need help Database
1

Hello, after 2 days of research, I’m really stuck on the data related to the buttons on my website. Indeed, on a page, I have 4 different buttons, and I would like to track the user’s choice in my data source. The goal would be to see in the ‘remark’ column of my database that the user “Paul” has chosen button #2. Do you have any ideas?

Hi @lateliersushis.contac :wave:

Why are you stuck?

Create 4 workflows. One for eaceh button.

  • If users press button 1 you do: CurrentUser’s remark = 1;
  • If users press button 2 you do: CurrentUser’s remark = 2;
  • If users press button 3 you do: CurrentUser’s remark = 3;
  • If users press button 4 you do: CurrentUser’s remark = 4;

Or have an option set of button names (let’s call them OS Buttons), a repeating group which displays all the OS Buttons, and when clicked Make changes to Thing’s Remark = Current cell’s button’s Display (assuming your remarks are a text).

When I see something like this I always feel like it’s unnecessarily repeating yourself when actually you just need one workflow and an obscenely simple RG.

If your buttons are on different places in the page, you may just want to do the multiple similar workflow thing, because the alternative is a custom event and at that point it’s probably less actions to just create a unique workflow for each button!

Hummm… I would agree with you if we were talking about a more experienced user. But clearly he’s having a very basic difficulty. So I thought the best thing would be to give a simple and easy-to-implement answer.

I know that there are many other ways to do it with less work. But we are talking about only 4 buttons :sweat_smile:

Haha yes, there is a limit to these things!

Hi guys, and thanks for your feedback. I want to point out that I’m really a beginner, and I probably say a lot of silly things, but we all started somewhere :stuck_out_tongue: Regarding this option, @Rpetrubu, I’ve tried, but I must be formulating the workflow incorrectly!

Why this is not working?
Press ENTER :sweat_smile:
Can’t you write “1” in this field?
