Hello all,

I have a question concerning adding rows to a created local db. I am attempting to have it add a row for a new submitted question and answer to a table in the created local db. This way I can review the question for accuracy before adding it to the main database. It sems to run through all of the code but it does not add the new row in the db. I’m sure it must be possible but I can’t get a grasp on what I need to do. Assistance is greatly appreciated.

You haven’t given the Create Row block any values. You need to connect text input’s text to those empty slots in the block.

But why are you having users submit questions and answers to the local database? That data won’t be accessible to you or anyone else until it’s uploaded to a cloud-based data source.

Hello @travisgerbergpy  
It seems to be an issue with the data source block:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/8/1/812c9d317095128fea15edefddb8b362fc316e39.png)  
Could you please delete it and add a new one?

Thank you guys for always being helpful and full of knowledge. I appears to have been the data block that was faulty somehow. I replaced the data block with a new one and attached the input text to the block. I also changed the database from a created local db to a google sheets. Every thing seems to be functioning now. I wanted to have the questions going to a separate chart to be reviewed before I place them in the main app data. This app is for a small group of people that wont be adding tons of question. I hope. Thanks again.
