Sorry for the confusion in the last message but I just realised that I do need the google sheets link for the project, because it is connecting to my version of destination app as i remixed your project without the data source.
Also, I tested it on my phone and it does work.

May I just ask what is the purpose of the GLOBAL ROW NUM object? because all i see in the data sheet 2 is 123 123 123…

Basically, whenever you need to create a new row, the row number is the number that is currently in global rownum, and after you create that row, global row num increases.
It is basically a cloud variable that increases after every submission.
I didn’t use cloud variables because I had a few problems with them.

Also, what do you mean by

because it is supposed to be always increasing by one every time a new row is made.
Make sure that you don’t delete any submissions from the data list or it may break and also make sure that the first row num is 1, then 2, then 3, e.t.c…
If it isn’t this could possibly break the app.

I don’t understand why that would be happening.

I can’t see where the problem is.
Could you please reshare the project and the data source so I can test it?

I still can’t find out what’s wrong.
Also, if you wanted to reset the the app, you would need to delete all of the submissions and set the global rownum to 1.
@matt_conroy do you know what is wrong?

would it not be 0? because there is no submissions yet if i reset everything.

No, the global rownum variable is what the next row would be.
