I’m working on an app where:
Users input data on one screen.
The data is saved to a list ( I’m using Airtable but idc what type of list it is).
The new data should automatically show up in a Data Viewer List on another screen that I can scroll through
my issue is:
well for one I have no idea what I’m doing which is the reason I didn’t add any screenshots because I don’t even know if this is possible to do…
When I enter data and save it, it does not appear on the second screen. nothing happens at all. How do I properly save the data and make sure it appears on the second screen?
I’ve seen on here where people use one screen where they type data in and It saves to a list but I want to type data in and have it save in a list and show up on that list on another page (sorry for repeating myself I just want to be clear)
Any screenshots or guidance would be appreciated! Thanks! 
Hi asiyyh,
You might be better off using variables rather than airtable if you are trying to create a basic list.
Here’s a very basic example of the sort of thing you are looking for - it consists of a data input (where users type their data), a button (where users submit their data) and a dataviewerlist.
Note - this will add whatever the user types into your text input into the “Name” column of this airtable.
and when the second screen opens, the data viewer list (attached to your airtable) will refresh itself showing the new list of data:

ugh, hello again, sorry to bother you but I have an entirely new issue. I made it so when you click on a row in the data viewer list a group will pop up that holds text inputs and whatever row you clicked, will show up in its corresponding text input. and it worked just fine until I tried to add a save changes feature where once the data pops up in the text input, users can edit it and click saved changes, but now the original feature of the row info popping up just doesn’t work anymore and idk how to fix it. I feel like I’m making this too complicated, I still haven’t even started on a delete feature! sorry for asking you so much but I’m really lost and will probably be asking for more help after this…
(nvrm I fixed it! i made a silly mistake)
