Hi, Tried to find the answer, but failed. Been struggling with this all day (first time building an app so bear with me) :slight_smile: I’ve got a physical activity tracking window with a Text Input field that shows acitivity minutes added to a particular date and + and - icons (not buttons) which…

Hi @tercas , I don’t quite get the business logic here. What would you like your user to do? Select the total amount (5 mins increments) and create the record immediately? Or you want them to allow to update their physical activity data several times/day? Can you please share the Data entry scree…

Hi @Victor , this is the screen [Screenshot 2020-09-30 at 20.02.21] The user is supposed to track his physical activity and record it, by pressing the + or - signs to generate the record for the day that is selected in the date section. The user would keep pressing +/- until the desired number of …

Hi @tercas , Thank you, I understand the idea now. Though, I see several difficulties here. When user enters this screen and selects some date, we (app) really don’t know, if the record data for this date has already been created or not. So for these buttons we can’t create a setting like “if ac…

Hi @tercas , After some experiments, the only thing I can suggest to solve (1) is to create a new record in the database each time users submits the activity. I.e. if user visits the “record activity” screen 3 times, and saves the minutes 3 times, there will be 3 records in the database. And then u…

I have a similar problem. In my case, i need the button to first create and then keep updating the database entry with each subsequent press, but I only need to use the last input. Ideally, i could query the database for the last input but that’s not an option, so I am looking for a way to make each…

Hi @Victor , now I apologise for responding late. Thanks for explanation! Although not sure I understand how point 2 is related to my case (probably lack of understanding on how Adalo works on my side). I don’t need the app to change the value of Datepicker, but rather the customer select the date …

Hi @tercas @Simba I have some ideas, will post them a bit later today

Hi, Victor. Thanks for all the work you put into this! Do you think it’s possible to use the same button to create the activity and then keep updating it? A little context: I’m trying to build a yes/no voting app. I have a list of questions and a Yes and No button associated with. each question. …

Hi @Simba , I don’t see an easy way to do it as for now. In the case with Activities: it is possible to make the “create new record” routine a conditional one, and apply the same logic as with visibility (i.e. this action runs only if Count of Activities/Votes/Etc. with Date=selected date equals 0)…
