Hi, Folks!
I am creating a fitness app where the users will fill out a form linked to a collection called user’s profile. This form collects information such as weight, height, birth date, etc.
When clicking in the submit button the user will be directed to the screen “Initial Profile”
, where should be visible the information just filled out.
If the user click in the chevron right icon, it will take the user the the weight edit screen, where the user is able to update the weight.
I am facing some errors:
The Initial Profile screen, where should be visible the user’s information, do not allow me to add the current user’s weight. It only allows me to choose the sum of user’s weight.
I created a form to be used to update the user’s weight, but it only allows to create a new user profile.
So there’s a broader question of how you want to set up your data, but I’ll be specific to what you’ve got already.
The reason you see this behaviour is the type of relationship you have set up there. In this video i show you firstly, setting up a relationship One weight many users. This would allow you to select an individual users weights. Why? Because there can be only one user - and we are accessing logged in user details.
Second relationship setup in the video i create relationship the same as yours, which is many weights, one user. The problem here is that you go to logged in user > weights, and the app thinks “ok, which weight? The user could have many weights.” Therefore the app gives you the option to average, sum, etc, because it can’t assume there’s only one weight to choose from.
You can get around this with a list as shown, or you might reconsider how the relationship is built. It really depends on your app and what your goals are.
edit: To be clear, i used a weight collection as an example, in your case it is “user profile” - this doesn’t make a difference to what i’ve explained it’s just naming.
