I’ve been searching for a solution for this for days and thought maybe now is my time to ask (rather than throw my computer out the window).
I am building a place to store education notes and books, and part of this is tagging the note or book with its category (ie. Science, Maths, Business). I’ve also created it so that you can set it as ‘you want to read it’ or ‘you have read it.’
Here’s my issue:
I’ve created the Categories using the Multidropdown input and set it so that you can see the category next to the notes and books.
When it’s moved from ‘want to read’ to ‘finished reading’ I want to carry through the existing Categories, but allow the user to change it if they want.
I just can’t seem to find a way with the Multidropdown input to automatically transfer the Categories between the database view of Want To Read to Finished Reading.
Am I missing something really easy here or is it not possible?
Thanks for getting back to me @Jici , I didn’t think it should be hard!
Here is the multidropdown:
Regarding the database, I am only storing the Category next to the User. Then on the book state (Want To Read and Finished Reading), I also store the category as a text field.
The placeholder is more a text to display when this is empty. You should use the Default value to set the current data instead. Be sure that the Parent group contain all information your need
You should store the categories into a field of type “Categories” and not in a text list (don’t forget to activate this is a list option)
You can always use a text list if you want but it’s better to use the correct type if you are using options set or Data type
