Hi everyone,
Still trying to get better at structuring things in Bubble.
For simple UI-driven data, when do you usually use custom states instead of saving it to the database?
I understand the basic difference, but in real projects I’m not always sure where you draw the line.
Would love to hear how you usually decide this.
Thanks!

States, like url parameters, are only temporary. If you need to save a value permanently, then you use the database. 
Does that help?

Usually I use states help in visualization of a group, popup and others. Sometimes when you need to hold temporary data to other groups and many more cases. But as @J805 pointed out, you should use database when you need to save something
