How to hide a Related List

Do you know about the Related List that displays people who can approve or reject a document? Recently a scenario came up where the developer needed to prevent the employee who created a record from approving that document. It wasn't common because usually the operational level creates the document while a manager approves it. Leaving this question of personas aside and focusing on the problem, what would be a possible solution? The first workaround that came to my mind was to hide the Approval list if the user who registered was viewing his own record. A workaround is not the ultimate solution. Just a palliative fix while we find time to think about the ideal one. The action plan 1) Every record has a field called sys_created_by; 2) On the front-end (client side) we have access to an API called Glide User that has some information about the logged in user. Among them is the name in the userName property. What if we create a

VIDEO How to fix a reference to the Choice [sys_choice] table

        The Choice table is used internally by the platform and depending on the payload of an operation, for performance reasons the platform can decide that it is better to drop the table and insert all the values instead of perform updates on specific records.       When we insert a new record in a table, a new sys_id is generated. If we have the Choice table as a reference to provide choices for a particular field in our table, these choices will be lost every time the platform decides to recreate the Choice table.       A simple way to avoid this problem is to create a field of  type Choice  which indirectly uses the Choice table but it is the right way, or we can create our own table to maintain the Application choices.       Recently I received the mission to do exactly this: create a private choice table for an Application.     The problem       A long time ago, the platform allowed a developer to choose the Choice table as a reference.       As a consequence, old custom applic

PROJECT Golden Ticket matching tool

Image
        Simon Hendery  shared his thoughts  about having a matching tool when Golden Ticket's owners could donate it in case they don't have someone in mind.       Simon asked the developer community for help and when I read it I immediately thought...  YES!       When I said to Simon that I've developed the App, it was like throwing a rock into a river. I could see a ripple moving away from where the rock landed:       1) Just a few days online and the tool found the first match. Cheers Simon! The idea was yours!       2) Jace Benson posted about it spreading the idea.        3) Allen Andreas asked about the statistics and the s ection  Our Numbers  w as implemented.        4) The tool was featured in JaceNow Youtube channel. Thanks Jace!        Analysing the solution's infrastructure       1) The User Interface       Both the donor and the learner access the User Interface where they can provide name, email and a message.       For data integrity reasons, we don't
