Hello to all !
Beginner in appsheet, I try to build a simple inventory Management App. For learning purposes, I am using an “AI assistant” (Appsheet Gemini assistant - Chrome extension) [Wonderful free product btw !!]
I created an action with "Data : Execute action on a set of rows… but there It is telling me that I should see some “Inputs parameters” just under my “referenced Action”. but there is none on my screen :
However this AI assistant is "Insisting that I should see something related to “inputs” there. Below is an extract from this Conversation :
Here's the sequence of settings for that action:
For a record of this table: GS_Release Stocks
Action name: Update Inventory on Release (or your chosen name)
Do this: Data: execute an action on a set of rows
Referenced Table: GS_Stocks Inventory
Referenced Rows: LIST([Item Code])
Referenced Action: Apply Stock Decrement (the action you created on GS_Stocks Inventory)
Now, look very carefully directly below or next to the "Referenced Action" dropdown where you selected Apply Stock Decrement.
This is where the "Inputs" configuration should appear. It might be labeled as:
* "Inputs"
* "Set action inputs"
* "Action Inputs"
* Sometimes it's not a prominent button but rather a small plus icon (+) or an "Add" link next to a label like "Inputs".
* It could also be a field that says something like "Input(s)" and you might need to click into it or an adjacent icon to define them.
Here's a visual representation of what you might be looking for in that area:
----------------------------------------------------
Action: Update Inventory on Release
...
Do this: Data: execute an action on a set of rows
...
Referenced Table: GS_Stocks Inventory
Referenced Rows: LIST([Item Code])
Referenced Action: [ Apply Stock Decrement v] <-- You selected your action here
<-- LOOK IN THIS AREA!
(Possibly here) Inputs:
[ + Add ]
or
Input name: [ ] Value: [ ]
----------------------------------------------------
If you still don't see it:
Double-check you are editing the correct action: Ensure you are in the settings for the Update Inventory on Release action (the one on GS_Release Stocks), not the Apply Stock Decrement action. The inputs are defined on the calling action.
Save and Re-open: Sometimes, saving the action and re-opening its configuration can make all options appear correctly.
Expand Sections: If there are collapsible sections in the action editor, make sure everything is expanded.
The ability to pass inputs to a referenced action is a standard feature and crucial for this method.
Could you take another look in the configuration screen for the Update Inventory on Release action, specifically around the "Referenced Action" setting? If you can describe what you see immediately below the "Referenced Action" dropdown, that might help me guide you further.
