If nick name is same?

[muneer]

@vishruth-ram
Can you please explain why is that?

• Is this another account that you use yourself?
• Has the account owner acted or been, in any way, offensive or had not followed forum ethics?
• Have you gotten in touch with him/her privately and solved the issue?

Please give your reason for such a decision/suggestion.

because it’s #off-topic it should be #feedback

There are three problems:

• The app variable should be stored variable because

App variable should have an default value which should be some text. stored which can be carryable anywhere without default values

• saving the values will increase the number of rows, so you should use the call airtable_1's max number of rows block.
• app variable Nnick has null value like @muneer said

@muneer

A simple reason if the Nick name in the table is Muneer but the user typed muneer (notice the first character “M” is upper case in one side and lower case in the other) the test condition will fail and to the app they are NOT the same and therefore the alert will not show.

Another reason is your Airtable connection has an error therefore the column block will be empty.

and @tatiang said.

@tatiang

You should add blocks to your If/Else block so that you can better understand what is or is not working. Right now, your “if” block condition results in either an alert being shown or nothing happening (setting a text input block’s value to it’s value does nothing). Instead, change the value of a label or text input to something you’ll recognize like “j=text input” and “j≠text input”. Then you can preview and see where the program is getting stuck or whether it’s evaluating the if/else condition as true or false.

This is not correct and could mislead others taking your advice.

There is no saving block in the image shared.

[vishruth-ram]

hmm, but you didn’t know that

@vishruth-ram

I don’t know that list property divides text into pieces like

• T
• E
• X
• T
  even though list viewer is a list property, it always shows this:
• T
• E
• X
• T
  like you told data to DVL, you can you this property

[muneer]

Can you just clearly explain what you want instead of adding unrelated references?

It will help everyone to be clear in your posts.

[vishruth-ram]

I just meant the app variable Nnick is null so it cannot take the condition, bye

[jumalcom222]

In conclusion, what should I do?

I deleted the alert.

[muneer]

The label “between” will display “Your nickname already exists”. This is of course in the case there is NO errors.

If the other rows in the table shown in the image are available rows but with column Nick empty then the label will be empty.

[muneer]

Try to build your code in a similar way

[jumalcom222]

“Nickname already exists” not shown

** I typed “jetski”(Nick column) in airtable DB.

[muneer]

Can you do this

And let me know what you get in the label.

[jumalcom222]

“blank” in Label1

Time is ticking.

[jumalcom222]

I programmed it like below.

But “blanl” in label…

[muneer]

No. This is not what I want.

Do it this way

@muneer

Can you do this

Do not add the testing for the nickname. Just this and show what you get.

[jumalcom222]

Look above

“blank” in Label1

Time is ticking.

[muneer]

@jumalcom222

“blank” in Label1

If this happens then you have a problem with your connection to Airtable. Fix the connection problem then try again.
