Assign new record with all users associated within a collection

[sladerose]

Hello,

I have a scenario I need to build.

3 collections, namely:

• Users
• User types
• Tasks

A user is associated with a user type (a user can have one user type).

I am currently able to assign a task to an individual user via a custom form or via the Adalo form when the user collection is related to the task collection (a user can have many tasks, and a task belongs to one user).

What I am now trying to figure out is the following:
When I create a task, I want to be able to assign the task to either a single user via dropdown OR to a user type via dropdown, in which case all users associated with that user type will receive the task.

How do I go about achieving this?

@sladerose

all users associated with that user type will receive the task

You need to do looping here, put countdown inside the list with that collection filtered to the user type selected.

Countdown?

Hi @eggeriley , I have looked at coaching app but it is better to create from scratch so we have more control of the database design. Here is my try, check it out. I have not implemented safety feature yet, so duplicate records are easily created. But you can see my other cloneable apps to see how it is done. For repetition, I have to use dummy sequence collection, but if Adalo has another way, I would like to know as well. Cheers, Yongki
