Hello! Could you help me with collections? I created not only a section for user-created collections, but also a section with pre-made collections that users can add to their own. The problem is that when adding a collection to the “My Collections” section, only the name of the pre-made collection is displayed, but the films themselves aren’t added. Perhaps I’m doing something wrong, but what exactly? I’d be very grateful for an answer!
It looks like your ‘movies in added collection’ collection doesn’t have any records. Have you checked that? Are you able to share a quick screen recording showing us your setup and app preview? You can use loom.com.
Additionally, is this something you’re trying to do? : https://drive.google.com/file/d/19m52SQ9v3gY0vPa7ip7RsXRWl9qmz6IH/view?usp=sharing (only if each user doesn’t have the option to edit, otherwise you should use another collection to store a separate record for each user)
Thank you and have a great day!
Yes, your video helped me! Basically, everything works just as I wanted. I was just thinking about implementing this function using two collections, but you did it using one. It’s even simpler and better!

@Dilon could this also be applied to “activities” with tasks, files and videos attached? But have it be displayed all in one list rather than two separate lists for a user?
@Jacob_Lange, could you give me an example? In the video, I’ve used 2 lists due to there’s a filtering bug which there’s a card already, where once you add a custom filter based on a m2m relation, it gets ignored and nothing displays. A solution mentioned here can be used at the moment.

@Dilon currently an activity is created and owned by one teacher. These activities include resources and files
This teacher can then turn around and use in any/multiple assignment. I use a join table set up to achieve this as to not have any many-to-many relationships.
I would like a new teacher to be able to have pre populated activities upon sign up or the ability to add those from a list similar to your set with here. So that way they can see their created activities as well as the premade ones in one activities list when creating assignments (I hope I explained that correctly)
I’m just stuck with the actual set up for this. If it’s at all possible. I can screen record my current set up in an hour or two and post it for you if that can help.
Copy that!
Wanted to clarify Jacob, do you need the pre-made activities to be able to available for everyone (every teacher) or just new signups? And does the user/teacher have the option to choose only the ones he/she needs from the pre-made activities or just all available pre-made activities get added into his/her account?
In a perfect world it could be available to every teacher And YES exactly…. They should have the option to chose which ones they actually want.
I would think you need another collection as activity_templates. This list from that collection displays for everyone at once to choose what they need and upon choosing, it would create the same record in the activities collection referencing the logged in user which each user have their own record which can edit or delete. Anyone have other ideas?

@dillon That’s kinda how I have it set up for the join tables. But I see where you are coming from. I’ll give it a shot and see how it turns it. Appreciate you!
