How to add to data via a form instead of overwriting it

What do you need help with?

I have a table that has a list of users who have edited a row in an “edited by” field. They edit these rows via a form.

I have a user table established. When they submit the form I have User > Id in the “edited by” field. However, I think when someone else edits the data, the editor gets replaced instead of being added as an editor along with the previous editor.

Is there a way to add data to the particular field, but not overwrite it?

Hi @Iokaar, unfortunately this is not currently possible. I will bring the feature request up internally and provide an update as soon as I have feedback from the team.

Hello @Iokaar, in the row change history you can track all the data about who created/updated the row. Would this feature work for your case?

I wanted to show who has edited the item on the item details page (which is public). Since updating a row overwrites data, you can only see one person (the last person to edit the item).

I use a linked field for this data, as I have a user table that I made myself (not Baserow team seats).

The following is an example of what I would like to happen:

When the item is edited, the member is added to the linked field instead of taking the place of the previous member.

Since this is not possible right now, I will make do with a “Last edited by:” instead. :slight_smile:
