Custom Request in Grid Card

English Forum Questions

Hi,

I have a Grid Card block where each card displays some information on a car, e.g. car brand, description, price, … I am looking for a way that allows the user to efficiently input a rating of 1 to 5 stars for each grid card.

Currently the only way that works is to add an “Edit” button, which then opens a separate form where the user can then pick the rating as a Single Selection field. Then the user has to click the Submit button and close the edit form.

This is quite inefficient. I am hoping to find a way where the user can click one of 5 buttons for the star rating and have those buttons displayed directly on the grid card itself, without having to go into the edit form.

I was wondering if the Custom Request buttons could work for this? Maybe I could add 5 different Custom Request buttons to the Grid Card. Is it possible to parameterise the Custom Request so that it updates the star rating field for the current record in the database? What parameters do I need to write into the Request Settings (URL, Headers, Parameters, Body) to make this work?

Thanks!

The method you came up with is excellent. You can add a “Score” field to store the score value; then add 5 “Update record” buttons to the details block, which will update the score value to 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 respectively, and automatically update the score value upon clicking.
