Hi all, trying to put together a loyalty based app and ‘simply’ increase a specific users loyalty value +1 when a vendor inputs their user ID and clicks a confirm button. I’m trying to make a change to a thing or a list of things
Workflow that I’m attempting to do to the confirm button without any success is:
Can anyone advise?
It’s just this:
Note that the value for “List to change” can be anything that the page can access. That is, I don’t have to do a Search – for example, there may be a list of Users already associated with something (like Vendor’s User’s or whatever).
The change field part of the dialog says, “take this User’s current Loyalty Number and add 1 to it”. For each User in the specified list, the value will be incremented.
Saw your post… If you want to change just a single thing, do Make Changes to a Thing, not Make Changes to a List of Things. 
Thank you Keith, but I’m clearly not understanding something.
When I follow your guidance I don’t believe that ‘This User’ is actually being specified - so in my understanding I need to identify the user by the UserID first.
I have 2 defined User Roles - Consumers and Vendors - in this instance a vendor is logged and trying to give a single, specified user this localty point.
I can’t make any changes to a single thing as when logged in as a vendor, a Consumer is neither a current user, current page user or parent groups user. While ‘Doing a search for’ auto changes it to a list automatically. Am I missing something?
Right: Searches always return a list of items. However, that list may have only 1 item (or even 0 items) in it. Suppose you have a search that, by definition, will only ever return 1 or zero items. For example, consider the following Search (ignore the fact that I’m doing this search as an input to an RG):
If there is a User in the database with this specific UID, the returned list will contain just 1 item – the User we seek.
If there is NOT a User in the database with this specific UID, the returned list will contain 0 items.
To get the User out of the list, we can just reference Search for Users :first item.
That item will either be empty (null) or contain a User.
So, that’s how you use the input to Make Changes to a Thing, right?
Hi Keith, thank you. Added first item and I’ll check that this works.
I had some issues with bubble in the ‘search for users’ dialog box. It was not actively detecting an UserID input placed in the app so i had no means to search for my specified UserID. I’ve not made any app changes and it is now detecting this dialog (miraculously)
thanks for the input
