Hi all.
I have two things: User and Role.
User has parameters: name, e-mail and role (type = Role).
I have two roles: “user” and “admin”.
What I need to achieve is: every user that signs up should be given a default role “user” automatically.
But I can’t get how to do it. I tried to search for a role with name “user” - but something wen’t wrong:
What am I doing wrong?
Why are you creating a new thing as a role? Why not just put a text field on each user of Role, and assign a default value upon signup (in the data tab)?
Hello, csblack.
Thank you for your reply.
I thought about that approach, but it seems to me that managing roles as a separate Thing is more convenient way.
Okay, in that case… you’re searching for a list of roles. You need to select one of them. Use Search for Roles:First Item.
Have the two roles been created in your database? And how will they be created in your database when you go live (since the two db’s are different)?
Thank you, your answer helped me to find the way to achieve what I need 
Search for Roles:First Item works fine when the role I need is on the first place in the returned list of roles. But let’s imagine that I have 10 roles and I need the fifth.
The way to solve it is to search for Roles with a constraint “unique id” and put the ID of required role. So bubble will return us only one role. And than we just can use Search for Roles:First Item.
P.S. To get my roles from Development to Live I’ll use export/import CSV function. Not sure whether my roles will be imported in Live with the same ID as in Development or not. I’ll check it later.
